Illusions
Eyefear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For centuries the truth's been left unsaid
Ancient history lies buried in the sands
Iron gates seal the entrance to their home
Torture and sacrifice
Worshiping their gods

Eternal illusion
Never to be found

A secret chamber that opens to the night
A passageway to the afterlife





Eternal illusion
Never to be found
