Eloy – Fatal Illusions lyrics

Religions sell salvation
Making promises hard to keep
Confusing the mind with contradicting beliefs
The modern way of thinking
Seeking refuge in a material world
Where everchanging values are giving relief
Here we are on the edge of time
Minds in confusion are
Fading out from reality
Fatal illusions of life
Dancing on a volcano
Disregarding the count-down has begun
Defeating all fears by simply closing our eyes
The future generation
Will inherit the idols of our time
At the mercy of perverts
Adoring corruption and crime
Here we are on the edge of time
Minds in confusion are
Fading out from reality
Fatal illusions of life
I see the light is fading
I feel the cold is spreading out
I feel the doubts are growing
Dissatisfaction all about
Hear - what is that sound a-sounding
See - what is that light a-shining
Feel - still there's emotions deep inside
Tearing down the prison walls
Of our cloned society
For we sleepwalk in the crowd
Of conformity
Reconstructing all anew
Values of the past
Re-alight the flame
If our children are the last
Will that be their legacy
This insanity
Is there another chance?
Here we are on the edge of time
Minds in confusion are
Fading out from reality
Fatal illusions of life
Here we are on the edge of time
Minds in confusion are
Fading out from reality
Hold on to fallacies
Finding comfort in cyberspace
Slaves of technology
Seeking shelter inside of dreams
Fatal illusions remain
