1. THE ILLUSIONIST (RAISE THE CURTAIN)

You play the role of victim perfectly
An artist of hypocrisy
Action, scene!

Put the mask of virtue on and go on blaming everyone you meet;
For your own deeds

Spin a web of lies and see how everyone around agrees
You plead; amnesty

It’s time to start the show, here we go, a magic display

Raise the curtain
Final scene
May your last trick be the best ever seen
Cast a spell, magical tears
And the whole crowd disappears

Use your dirty tricks and schemes to conjure up some self-esteem
You scream; all eyes on me
Slowly will the traitor learn, you play with fire and bridges burn
Disposed; how’s that feel?

You run a one-man show, so let’s go, come blow us away

Raise the curtain
Turn around
Not a single person left to be found
Magic’s gone, genuine tears
As you slowly disappear

When there’s nothing left to hide
When you stand alone with guilt and no pride
Seek forgiveness but it is too late
No return
You realize

The curtain has fallen
Kill the lights
Just a fading star in the dark of the night
When it’s over, when it’s too late
Such a sad and lonely fate
