The Great Charade Lyrics - Elegy

[Van der Laars/Parry] 

An' through the mist I see, an image standing there 

But do my eyes deceive me 

I'm seeing what I see, what is reality 

It's just a game 

The great charade, which we play 

Are we here, to pick out the clues 

Opposites they always meet... try to focus try to see 

Nothing here is what it seems.. in this world, nothing's real 

Try to focus try to see... where opposites always meet 

Nothing in this world is real... nothing here is what it seems 

A concept so surreal, this abstract world in view 

With no beginning or ending 

Our rationality, we think therefore we are 

If it's a game, who makes the rules 

An' now the mist has cleared, thyn eyes the truth they see 

Beneath the mysteries, the magic 

Our future is in our hands, if we are who we are 

The choice is ours, if we choose
