Vale of Tears

The Lord of Illusion

Vale of Tears


Don't look back, don't turn back 
Don't wait for commission from anyone 
Don't say a word, don't expect anything 
Silence gives consent 

Cover your tearful eyes with a veil 
Let your pain be torturing 
Cover yourself with a back-sword 
Like a slave in chains 

You can't show something forever 
Life can't always be good 
You make yourself be called to dance 
The music of the shadows is playing 

Storm clouds are gathering, the sword is sharp 
Your magic is about to end 
The pain is awful, but has an end 
You see, appearance kills, you're the only one to know it 
Eternal peace is waiting for you And if you must, you'll get out 

There is silence, you're examining your bleeding wounds 
Perhaps it's another world that gives you another chance 
People are mourning but you know that you're not done for 
You take off your veil and watch them mourning you 

You are the Lord of Illusion, you know it well 
Prepare for the new show and enjoy yourself
