Across The Sun - The Illusionist lyrics

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 k** 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This war has come to you There will no longer be carnage In the house of brothers This game of smoke and mirrors Has been revoked
