The Illusionist dances, a trickster's sway,
This era marches on, come what may.
Fear takes hold, yet laughter rings aloud,
This era marches on, amongst the crowd.

The drum of power, in the hand that beats,
They'll strike you down, before discourse greets.
The drum of power, in the hand that beats,
They'll strike you down, before discourse greets.
The wind of doubt, breaches the very core,
This era marches on, and nothing more.
Fear takes hold, yet laughter rings aloud,
This era marches on, in the endless shroud.

The nightingale retired, the crows now sing,
The crows now sing, the flattery they bring.
The nightingale retired, the crows now sing,
While cats stand guard, where the sweet milk will swing.
The vigil they keep, the vigil they keep.
Shiva's drum, a charlatan now plays,
This era marches on, through hazy days.
Fear takes hold, yet laughter's in the air,
This era marches on, beyond compare.

This era marches on, this era's reign,
This era marches on, through joy and pain.
This era marches on, a constant flow,
This era marches on, where shadows grow.
