Lost Illusions

Who were the first who wanted far too much
More than what he had earned or deserved
All we believed and thought was truth is lost
And our vision's been clouded and blurred

Hundreds of years we've been
Chasing illusions to the grave
All things confined into just three dimensions
You'd better build a dam before the wave

Our final chance will come
Between the fire and rain
The time for change is done
It's time to fight our way
The meek get the Earth
But the brave will find the strength to be the thieves
One final chance will come
To make the changes in me

Young people find themselves deserted and lost
Embracing the bottle as a son
They won't believe the unbelievable cost
Of chasing a lost illusion

Hundreds of years we've been
Chasing illusions to the grave
All things confined into just three dimensions
You'd better build a dam before the wave

Our final chance will come
Between the fire and rain
The time for change is done
It's time to fight our way
The meek get the Earth
But the brave will find the strength to be the thieves
One final chance will come
To make the changes in me

A world war beginning
Don't look to see who's winning
The bad and good together
To live and die forever
My God, the time has come
To let some peace got in the way

Hundreds of years we've been
Chasing illusions to the grave
All things confined into just three dimensions
You'd better build a dam before the wave

Our final chance will come
Between the fire and rain
The time for change is done
It's time to fight our way
The meek get the Earth
But the brave will find the strength to be the thieves
One final chance will come
To make the changes in me
