Song language: English
Illusions for the King |
| It was just another show |
| There in the front row sat a girl |
| Young and fair with a stare through her hair |
| Of old fashioned curls |
| But through the spectacle in all of its grandeur |
| I watched her from the stage |
| She never cracked a smile |
| Just held her that cold warning gaze |
| As if to say… |
| Sing me another song Cinderella’s gone |
| And she’s not coming back so long |
| Let her go on, she’s gone |
| Bring me another day |
| Then send me along my merry way |
| Illusions for the King |
| Don’t work on me at all |
| When I saw her in that hall |
| Her image burned a hole in my mind |
| I tried so hard to find her |
| But from everyone to whom she was described |
| I was told she had long ago died |
| But when the crowd rose |
| And when the curtains closed |
| She was sitting there alone |
| And oh, I was terrified |
| When she said… |
| Sing me another song Cinderella’s gone |
| And she’s not coming back so long |
| Let her go on, go on |
| She’s gone |
| Bring me another day |
| Then send me along my merry way |
| Illusions for the King |
| Don’t work on me at all |
| Now here in my cage |
| I can see how we’ve all bought the lie |
| A promise of solace |
| That only exists in our minds |
| For love is just apathy |
| Disguised as a stranger in need |
| And now the ghost of that woman |
| Is the mother of the anger in me |
