To deceive, to seduce, to coerce,
That is where humanity shines
We love to confuse, we feed on persuasion,
The greatest rulers hold the book of minds
...
Maniacs in mangers, faithfuls in ruin,
This is the state of the world,
Of misdoings and future uncertain
...
This world, it is all an illusion
From which we cannot be freed
But if there is no true destination,
Why do we torture ourselves in this world?
...
So what if I'm an abused wife
or a poor beggar with a terrible life?
It's the simplest things that keep me alive,
Like the number of fingers I have is still five
...
God, allow me now to speak
For I have a word for thee
I know what even you seek;
To say, “All obey only Me.”
...
Oh how Spring has finally come
and poked out her flowery head,
from the shed she calls her home
in the bitter cold that is Winter
...
The world in which we live,
It does not care for us,
There is no god to save us
...
A knife thrust or a gunshot,
a blazing fire or a great fall,
Death will be there, waiting,
Death will be there to take her lot
...
Brothers, break the spell you're under!
Awake before you're torn asunder,
Mind from body, blindly following
your mistress's hand and words like dogs,
...
It is natural to base attraction
on physical attributes out and in,
It may well determine the first action
to read a book that may fortell the end
...
Do deed oh, dee do dee doo deed oh do,
All is perfect as you so walk with me,
You are my joy, my aura of gold hue
The heaven of my Earth, my sanity
...
O why, my mistress Monica, once right,
do you appear throughout the world in song?
O why, my mistress Monica, so bright,
do you revive me from a state of wrong?
...
I had a dream the previous night,
Blossoming from the edge of reason,
In this world I entered twilight,
Blissfully falling to submission
...
As I stand on the precipice of fate
and look to the horizon for a sign,
From things transpired to find new estate,
So that we may claim victory in time
...
Illusionists And Conjurers
To deceive, to seduce, to coerce,
That is where humanity shines
We love to confuse, we feed on persuasion,
The greatest rulers hold the book of minds
To contrive, to concoct, to conceive,
That is humanity's expertise
We make oblivious things the hottest trends,
It amazes me how we do it with such ease
We conjure a being to give us hope,
And bend others to obey him, too,
It is as if, let loose by a mad master
we are given a plain in which we must make due
Though none can conjure a sword in a second
or bend emotion with a finger,
Magic, it is in this world,
In all of us it lingers
We deceive, seduce, coerce,
Contrive, concoct, and conceive,
We love to create great things from nothing,
We love to prey on the naive,
For we are all illusionists and conjurers
