Take me away Into illusion Take me away From the rain Wounded but not yet fallen Still caving in The marks from the dance with the devil Still healing Take me away Into illusion Take me away From the rain Shallow but not yet empty Cries left alone The marks from a life lived in vain Still sore Take me away Take me to places where hope Is not merely an illusion Take me to levels where strength rises high Take me to levels where there are no lies Take me to places where life is for real Where destiny s challenge has yet to be sealed Still I awake to the sound of damnation Torn from my sleep as it calls out my name Take me away Into illusion Take me away From the pain I fall! The fact that the curtain of life Is ready to fall I drown! The empty white canvas Is suddenly painted in red
