Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tony Martin] What is it that turns you on to the illusion of power? This thing that grabs you by the heart and makes you want to tear things down There is no reason why I should need all this power But if you cross me now, I'm gonna tear your whole world down [Chorus: Tony Martin, Martin & Ice-T] Illusion of power Things that I feel seem so real Illusion of power [Verse 2: Tony Martin] I can't get the emotional thing straight in my head Everything I love dies too soon or is already dead Don't stand too close, I spit and breathe fire Anything I've got now you cannot desire You wanna be my friend, I promise you nothing Nothing I can give you, nothing I can do for you I'm being chased by the sins of my past and it's killing me now Killing me now [Chorus: Tony Martin, Martin & Ice-T] Illusion of power Things that I feel seem so real Illusion of power Illusion of power It's already set, signed and sealed Illusion of power [Bridge 1: Ice-T] Powerful, who are you fooling? You're caught in a complex catacomb of your own inadequacies and pitiful weaknesses Your soul secretes insecurity So you live on the reflection side of the mirror You're terrified of true power, you fear me [Bridge 2: Tony Martin] I can tell you stories of my shaded past And I can drag you down into the depths of my soul [Chorus: Tony Martin, Martin & Ice-T] Illusion of power Things that I feel seem so real Illusion of power Illusion of power It's already set, signed and sealed Illusion of power [Outro: Tony Martin] Why don't you come closer? Promise a story I will tell, yeah I'll save you from your dreams, yeah Save you from your dreams It's illusion Just an illusion Illusion Just an illusion
