POETS OF THE FALL Illusion & Dream

Poets Of The Fall

Illusion & Dream

Release: 2005

Look in my eyes I'll make you see

We're drifting aimlessly

Blind in a world of make believe

Hear them sing their songs off key

N' nod like they agree

Buying the need to be discreet

I've got no hand in matters worldly, I hardly care at all

What's going on fails to concern me, Cos I'm locked behind my wall

But you know what drives me out

Out of my mind

It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe

And forget about the premonition you need to conceive

That the images they sell are illusion & dream

In other words dishonesty

If I speak Ill, please, humor me

Won't rant on endlessly

Just thought I'd try to make you see

It doesn't solve a thing to dress it in a pretty gown

A stone will not need you to guess if

You're still going to drown

So you know what drives me out

Out of my mind

It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe

And forget about the premonition you need to conceive

That the images they sell are illusion & dream

In other words dishonesty

So can you name your demon?

Understand its scheming

I raise my glass and say "here's to you"

Can you chase your demon?

Or will it take your freedom?

I raise my class and say "here's to you"

POETS OF THE FALL War

Poets Of The Fall

War

Release: 2009

Do you remember standing on a broken field

White crippled wings beating the sky

The harbingers of war with their nature revealed

And our chances flowing by

If I can let the memory heal

I will remember you with me on that field

When I thought that I fought this war alone

You were there by my side on the frontline

When I thought that I fought without a cause

You gave me a reason to try

Turn the page I need to see something new

For now my innocence is torn

We cannot linger on this stunted view

Like rabid dogs of war

I will let the memory heal

I will remember you with me on that field

When I thought that I fought this war alone

You were there by my side on the frontline

And we fought to believe the impossible

When I thought that I fought this war alone

We were one with our destinies entwined

When I thought that I fought without a cause

You gave me the reason why

With no-one wearing their real face

It's a whiteout of emotion

And I've only got my brittle bones to break the fall

When the love in letters fade

It's like moving in slow motion

And we're already too late if we arrive at all

And then we're caught up in the arms race

An involuntary addiction

And we're shedding every value our mothers taught

So will you please show me your real face

Draw the line in the horizon

Cos I only need your name to call the reasons why I fought
