lyrics

We born unaware of what we'll expect us
We can't predict our future
All seems so uncertain
And we feel lost in another dimension
Human being is the most foolish species
'Cause it sleeps in the cradle of a god
And destroys the visible nature
Without realizing that the nature is already dead

All can disappear in a second
Just close your eyes and you'll realize
The illusion of life
My illusion is your life
Your illusion is to be eternal

The poets wrote thousands of words
Trying to explain the 'sickness of the century'
But the pain is close, deep in each one of us
And that's what leads us to hide us from ourselves
Money shapes my life
and power makes me blind

All can disappear in a second
Just close your eyes and you'll realize
The illusion of life
My illusion is your life
Your illusion is to be eternal

Our illusion is to be almighty
But we're only a dot in the middle of a white sheet

Come on, I’m here
Closer to you
No pain to gain
Just me get through
The fear of tears
Suffocating me
And you can't complain
This is what we
Deserve, the rain
Again beating
Me through my skin
You're not supposed to win
This fight, I Can't fight

Life will be always
A constant climb
Through pain
Will you reach the top?

The illusion of life
My illusion is your life
Your illusion is to be eternal
The illusion of life
My illusion is your life
Your illusion is to be eternal

I can hear you
I can see you
