Alien Blues

Veil of Illusion
(Blues Style - reminiscent of "The Pusher")
Verse 1:
I walk through shadows, watch the sky unfold
In the dance of stars, the world turns cold
Empty faces, hollow eyes
Trapped in cages of their own disguise
So much pain in who we pretend to be
Selling dreams, buying false belief
Chorus:
Oh, veil of illusion that hides the ground
Where lonely footsteps make no sound
They mask their faces, forget the light
But truth will rise, and set us right
Verse 2:
Sold my fate in a timeless game
Broke down the walls that bore my name
I carry the ghosts that time has spawned
Faces forgotten, the world’s pawned
In this silence, deep as the sea
I search for answers, none come to me
Chorus:
Oh, veil of illusion that hides the ground
Where lonely footsteps make no sound
They mask their faces, forget the light
But truth will rise, and set us right
Bridge:
In the cold steel of lies, the wind whispers low
Hearts are screaming, lost in their woe
I dive to the depths, find only the void
Yet in the fall, I am reborn and employed
Slow, haunting guitar solo
Verse 3:
With weary eyes and the weight of earth
Life calls to me for a new rebirth
Where masks fall off and I see the real
On an uncertain road, my wounds can heal
I’m not what they say, nor what I’ve lost
I’m the hope still living, no matter the cost
Chorus:
Oh, veil of illusion that hides the ground
Where lonely footsteps make no sound
They mask their faces, forget the light
But truth will rise, and set us right
Outro:
And as light fades in the endless sea
I hear a whisper, calling to me
A heartbeat hidden, a quiet song
And in the dark, it won’t be long.
