The Great Illusionist

The Great Illusionist You tried to defeat the beast But failed to bring them your truth and virtue The people’s hearts showed no mercy The master servant of the people And all they did was put you on the highest steeple The steeple of shame and dishonour The hypocrisy installed its father And the whip, its main device And now in these modern times Far from your glory past We are all tamed by the same structure, system and class Your words do live on though greatly misunderstood And now in such worlds divided we are lost Lost without our guide and your guidance Removed from your whispers and philosophy Distilled in absolute silence But thank you for trying and being exceptional in your deeds We only can take your words though, assumptions mislead And when we go about our business as slaves within the boundaries Of this order we can only blame ourselves For our ignorance, selfishness and cowardice We ourselves have clamped our lives With sins, troubles and strife We put ourselves on the sacrifice of falsehood
