The Forest of Illusions - The Wise Man's Fear

Don’t you start to slow down

Or the vines will draw you in

Don’t run away

Because that’s when their games will begin

Don’t look, your eyes will betray you

Betray you

But the stars are shining too bright tonight

To remember the forest’s treason

Or the ruins that pass us by

A false light, a shimmer and a shine

And then the moment’s gone, they all carry on

They carry on

Don’t you start to slow down

Or the vines will draw you in

Don’t run away

Because that’s when their games will begin

Look alive, don’t be surprised

Look alive and you’ll see it coming

Look alive, don’t be surprised

Don’t lose yourself to the illusions

Look alive, don’t be surprised

Look alive and you’ll see it coming

Look alive, look alive

A land of waking winds

And ancients above the path within

When I looked up my feet had taken me

Where I’ve not been

Look alive, don’t be surprised

Look alive and you’ll see it coming

Look alive

Don’t lose yourself to the illusions

And so the wheel turns

And so the question burns

Where is the light we all have been seeking?

Betray you
