Lyrics:
Illusion:
In a forest known as heartbreak
In a clearing in the wood
‘Cross a pathway called confusion
Toward the garden of delight
You’ll reach the river of desire
And meekly try and cross it
While the valley of love
Keeps avoiding you
Because it’s only an illusion
Only an illusion
Upon the hill of high ideals
You begin to wonder if it’s real
You are reaching sleep’s oasis
You begin to wonder how you feel
But it happens so quickly
It doesn’t fit into your scenes
Tossin’ and turnin’
The star of so many scenes
It’s only an illusion
It’s only an illusion
It’s only an illusion
Lyrics:
Illusion / Masquerade
A masquerade of dancing shadows
Appear before me
Through my mystic window
And soon to be seen
I saw presented
Became a vision that
I saw resented
I stood and watched
Its image changing
The unseen hand was rearranging
And all the time I wondered
How did it wind
Slowly, surely it unfolded
Its simple lines just as
A pole wind told it
A temporary revolution
My problems rose and fell
With a lapse of illusion
My mind was telling me, don’t fight it
It’s just a hazard in the night
Don’t do those
Who’ve lost their way
It’s a masquerade
Slowly, surely it unfolded
Its simple lines just as
A pole wind told it
A temporary revolution
My problems rose and fell
With a lapse of illusion
My mind was telling me, don’t fight it
It’s just a hazard in the night
Don’t do those
Who’ve lost their way
It’s a masquerade
Masquerade, it’s a masquerade
Masquerade, a hazard in the night
Masquerade, don’t want no revolution
