Existing Delusions lyrics

Is life not but an illusion

That is to say but in the moment

And all that once was is gone

As if it was only an apparition

That the imagination conjured

The future equally proportioned

Unformed fantasies to become

Visions grand and endless too

Incited by hallucinations yet

Visions perceived faintly perhaps

Through rose-coloured glasses

Phantasm come clearly in view

Their shadows cast in timely awe

Only at last in twain providence

Displays the spectres conclusive

The distant mirage rippling

Finds itself in barren view anon

And the delusions close kept

Fall to reveal prestidigitation

An essence deemed surreal, gone
