Dionysus (/daɪ.əˈnaɪsəs/; Greek: Διόνυσος, Dionysos) is the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness, fertility, theatre and religious ecstasy in Greek mythology. Alcohol, especially wine, played an important role in Greek culture with Dionysus being an important reason for this life style. His name, thought to be a theonym in Linear B tablets as di-wo-nu-so (KH Gq 5 inscription), shows that he may have been worshipped as early as c. 1500–1100 BC by Mycenean Greeks; other traces of the Dionysian-type cult have been found in ancient Minoan Crete. His origins are uncertain, and his cults took many forms; some are described by ancient sources as Thracian, others as Greek. In some cults, he arrives from the east, as an Asiatic foreigner; in others, from Ethiopia in the South. He is a god of epiphany, "the god that comes", and his "foreignness" as an arriving outsider-god may be inherent and essential to his cults. He is a major, popular figure of Greek mythology and religion, and is included in some lists of the twelve Olympians. Dionysus was the last god to be accepted into Mt. Olympus. He was the youngest and the only one to have a mortal mother. His festivals were the driving force behind the development of Greek theatre. Modern scholarship categorises him as a dying-and-rising god.

These mysteries were celebrated throughout Greece and Asia Minor, but principally at Athens, where the years were numbered by them. They were instituted in honor of Bacchus, or, as the Greeks called him, Dionysus, and were introduced into Greece from Egypt. In these mysteries, the murder of Dionysus by the Titans was commemorated, in which legend he is evidently identified with Egyptian Osiris, who was slain by his brother Typhon. The aspirant, in the ceremonies through which he passed, represented the murder of the god and his restoration to life, which, says the Baron de Sacy, (Notes on Sainte-Croix, ii. 86,) were the subject of the allegorical explanations altogether analogous to those which were given to the rape of Proserpine and the murder of Osiris. The commencement of the mysterie...

1. Illusion of life
[intro]
You see the shadows closing in
I know the fall has just begun
Nowere to hide, you can't get out
You were trapped inside your lonely life...
[Verse 1]
Empty inside almost insane
Feel so lonely you're stuck to bare the pain
Only you can take control
Watch out before the hangman takes your soul
Don't hide there nowere to run
No escaping from all the things you've done
It's time to face reality
There is no chance for you to feel...
[Bridge]
Falling, loosing your ground
And times running out but still you're blind
[Chorus]
You're down and out, you're lost in paradise
You're just a fool, a fraud filled with lies
You're in a land where shadows watching you
That land is only an illusion of life!
[Verse 2]
Watch out darkness will come on your way
Decide if you ever want to change
You're the one with the golden key
To the future and to your destiny
You need to find out who you are
Take my advice or else you wound get far
Stop pretending that you're the man
Guilty of charge it's time to take your stand
[Bridge]
Falling loosing your ground
And times running out but still you're blind
[Chorus]
[Stick]
You see the shadows closing in
I know the fall has just begun
Nowere to hide you can't get out
You were trapped inside your lonely life!
