The Illusionist Lyrics - Singles - Across The Sun

The gloves have been removed 

Lets see it to the end 

May the better man prevail 

With hopes that we can bring 

Some closure to this nightmare 

Never speak of this again 

They say kill your idols 

Yet idols are the source of inspiration 

With one exception 

When the chosen prove to be 

Everything but what they are 

Slipping through the cracks 

Creating peace of mind 

Quaintly slithers down your back 

Undetected, creeps behind 

Siphoning the very structure 

Built upon false pretenses 

Crumbled reality 

Welcomes lividity 

It's becoming real 

Let's put a stop to this 

The past reveals 

What you have become 

A boundless black oasis 

Consuming swelling scorn 

A helpless apparition 

Refusing to make right 

What's been destroyed by your hand 

When all has been forsaken 

I will be the one 

To hold you to this promise 

This war has come to you 

There will no longer be carnage 

In the house of brothers 

This game of smoke and mirrors 

Has been revoked
