about

'Death's Illusions' is a bonus track on the 10th Anniversary Collector's edition of Alexandria (a digipak on Forest of the Fae, a division of Dark Symphonies, USA), with the original front cover art. Composers are Mark Krol and Rüdiger Gleisberg.

lyrics

This One asking that I die ... telling me to fly
charming a million souls
calling me to roam
screaming 'on your knees!'
dying to appease, asking that I die ... telling me to fly

Death’s illusions
scatter like metaphors of confusion
convictions of meaning
create a geography of dreaming
am I this summer descended in rain?
am the eagle? am I this grace?
am I oblivion they call my name?
am I this song falling in flame?

Death’s illusions ... (etc, ibid)
am I the thunder lost in a trance,
or resolutions caught by demands?
am I the memory of someone’s face?
am I question lost in a daze?
am I a dogma or am I a poem?
beyond your ken is my soul free to go?
