Chasm of Fallen Illusions Songtext
von On the Loose

A forlorn inflated sail
Like a darkened autumn leaf
Borne upon a fateful gale
Cast adrift with no relief

Far above the chasm of old
Ends a story left untold
Gaping gorge, black abyss
Where illusions rest in peace

And the souls in Hades cried
Gazing up at the celestial ride
Sentenced so by satanic writ
To descend into the pitiless pit


Down into the dark and cold
Fell the craven and the bold
Where the dreams have come to die
Where the dead illusions lie

A leaf adrift up in the sky
Flies above unholy tombs
Of delusions gone awry
In disgrace that ever looms

In the darkness far below
No winds will ever blow
Under heaven, under hell
Where at last illusions fell
Where at last illusions fell
