Scott Howard - Illusions of Life Lyrics

Life's a puzzle...
Find the pieces that fit for you in time
One's mission...
Matching the pictures, shadows and hues
The treasured soul of man
Corrupted by a force as things got out of hand
The maps were changed things rearranged

Ancient end's beginning
Misery and joy for the living
Taking back the idols of gold
Leads to a crime of greed, I've been told

The stolen illusions of our opulent faith
Has lead to the darkness that we must erase
Treasured secrets of the human soul
A prize to be won

If you've kept your faith whole... Oh oh
Life's illusions will unfold, when the dance is done
As it's time for the return of this prodigal son, oh yeah

And the light has won, oh yeah
The false needs of man, becomes an oasis of sand
The church of a dying breed taking its last breath
In its need

Strength is built by fighting alone
Lit it by the light of a good man's soul
Few have had the power to control
Mother earth is angry inside

Lost in envy, lust and pride
Who's alive and who is dead
Are we blind by what's been said... Oh yeah
Free your mind instead... Oh yeah

The stolen illusions of our opulent faith...
Has lead to the darkness that we must erase
The treasured secrets of the human soul
A prize to be won... if you've kept your faith whole

Life's illusions will unfold, when the dance is done
Now it's time for the return of this prodigal son, oh yeah
And the light has won... Oh yeah

Eden stolen by the snake... Twisted by a mythical maker
In god we trust... It's all about us

Life's a puzzle
Welcome to the party
It's all about us
Life's a puzzle
