Lost Illusions - Edda

Who were the first who wanted far too much

More than what he had earned or deserved

All we believed and thought was truth is lost

And our vision’s been clouded and blurred

Hundreds of years we’ve been

Chasing illusions to the grave

All things confined into just three dimensions

You’d better build a dam before the wave

Our final chance will come

Between the fire and rain

The time for change is done

It’s time to fight our way

The meek get the Earth

But the brave will find the strength to be the thieves

One final chance will come

To make the changes in me

Young people find themselves deserted and lost

Embracing the bottle as a son

They won’t believe the unbelievable cost

Of chasing a lost illusion

Hundreds of years we’ve been

Chasing illusions to the grave

All things confined into just three dimensions

You’d better build a dam before the wave

Our final chance will come

Between the fire and rain

The time for change is done

It’s time to fight our way

The meek get the Earth

But the brave will find the strength to be the thieves

One final chance will come

To make the changes in me

A world war beginning

Don’t look to see who’s winning

The bad and good together

To live and die forever

My God, the time has come

To let some peace got in the way

Hundreds of years we’ve been

Chasing illusions to the grave

All things confined into just three dimensions

You’d better build a dam before the wave

Our final chance will come

Between the fire and rain

The time for change is done

It’s time to fight our way

The meek get the Earth

But the brave will find the strength to be the thieves

One final chance will come

To make the changes in me
