Beauty Will Fade

There he stands, silent and proud
doing his worst to please you, the crowd.
Dressed to seduce, in living ropes,
surrounded by an aura of dreams and hopes.
Vivid colours in a beautiful blur,
weird shapes to trick your minds.
Twisting in and out of form,
reflecting infinite dreams.
This is so much more than smoke and mirrors.
Mesmerize
Hypnotize
Paralyse.
Beauty will fade, wonders will fall.
This magic conquers you all.
Secrecy is gloomy and pure.
Illusions, how can you be sure?
Authoritarian and standing tall
He commands you, one and all.
Raise his hands to cast his spell
He has no heart to do you well.
Hateful gloomy atmosphere,
astral signs from a future dark.
A whispering and crawling fog
echoes infinite nightmares.
This is so much more than smoke and mirrors.
Violation
Exploitation
Deprivation.
Beauty will fade, wonders will fall.
This magic conquers you all.
Secrecy is gloomy and pure.
Illusions, how can you be sure?
What is real? What is not?
Nothing matters when you lie in your blood.
Waiting in silence for the magic trance.
Now the gypsies will do their dance.
