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



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 rain



I fall!

The fact that the curtain of life is ready to fall



I drown!

The empty white canvas is suddenly painted in red
