Powerful rock song, excellent work Julian !

My illusion, my mistake

Again I dwelled on dreams
And nothing ever turns out as it seemed at first -
like in a curse.
My heart was hungry and so I took the bait.
My illusion, my mistake.

Again I sat and grieved.
Your words had made a dreamer out of me,
I thought so foolishly.
I didn‘t think my heart was gonna break.
My illusion, my mistake.

It hurts when you know 
you have to let it go.
But you want the impossible to happen
Say it isn‘t so.
I don‘t want to let it go.
Don‘t tell me it‘s impossible...

All these words,
how they bleed 
onto the paper infront of me.
But they don’t express what I would like to say.
Unable to sleep, at night I lie awake.
My illusionn, my mistake. 

It sucks when you know
you need to let it go.
But you hope the impossible will happen
Say it isn‘t so.
I don‘t want to let it go.
Don‘t tell me it‘s impossible...

To some
chasing a dream 
might feel contemptible,
It may appear absurd
The most exciting tunes I know are 
melodies that I‘ve never heard.
Let‘s think we‘re growing wings
as we‘re falling from the sky like birds.
Unperturbed.
Superb. 

It still hurts,
It still bleeds,
And It doesn‘t seem to heal.
All my fantasies have turned into aches. 
No, no, no, no, no
I thought that our souls were bound by fate.
My illusiom, my mistake.

This has been such a crazy year. I'm surprised someone hasn't suggested going back to human sacrifice to appease all the angry gods. This is my song satire of that thought. All in fun, please send any angry letters directly to my lawyer, Dr Gonzo...

Lyrics:
People gather in the town square
The band shell is up
The fireworks are popping
The ticker tape parade
You've been chosen for this journey
Because things are really, really bad
We're going back to the old ways
Sweet smelling sacrifice
The gods are angry
They don't listen to advice
This is the price to realign our lives
Sweet smelling sacrifice

(Townspeople: Ohhh yeah!)
The towns all here
And the Mayor has the key
The band is firing up     :-D
And the alter is ready
The band is drumming
The tribal drums are humming
(Stoner: Good drummers, they're real tight drummers)

Well, we thought that things would just pass
We thought that this might just be a simulation
In the universe's ass
But things didn't get any better
Civilization can't agree on anything 
But we think this is the right thing to do
(Town Shaman: Let me escort you up to the platform. Watch your feet, there's some burning embers there. Just put on this headdress)
Sweet little sacrifice 
Sweet smelling sacrifice
You've been training for this your entire life
All that fast food and television
(Stoner: Oy!)
(The ceremony begins!)

Sweet smelling sacrifice
Congratulations!
Sweet smelling sacrifice
