Lyrics The Forest of Illusions - The Wise Man's Fear

The Forest of Illusions

Don’t you start to slow down
Or the vines will draw you in
Don’t run away
Because that’s when their games will begin
Don’t look, your eyes will betray you
Betray you
But the stars are shining too bright tonight
To remember the forest’s treason
Or the ruins that pass us by
A false light, a shimmer and a shine
And then the moment’s gone, they all carry on
They carry on
Don’t you start to slow down
Or the vines will draw you in
Don’t run away
Because that’s when their games will begin
Look alive, don’t be surprised
Look alive and you’ll see it coming
Look alive, don’t be surprised
Don’t lose yourself to the illusions
Look alive, don’t be surprised
Look alive and you’ll see it coming
Look alive, look alive
A land of waking winds
And ancients above the path within
When I looked up my feet had taken me
Where I’ve not been
Look alive, don’t be surprised
Look alive and you’ll see it coming
Look alive
Don’t lose yourself to the illusions
And so the wheel turns
And so the question burns
Where is the light we all have been seeking?
Betray you
