I can't put out the fire,been blinded by the flame,

I have to run for cover, can't stand the pain

Can't stand the pain

The screams are loud but then he can't hear

Nightmare shows his face, then disappears

Ooh victim of illusion, ooh victim of illusion

Gone is the free expression, but look into my eyes,

The silent world is laughing, the mirror never lies,

The mirror never lies!

The screams are loud but then he can't hear

Nightmare shows his face, then disappears

Ooh victim of illusion, ooh victim of illusion

Down, down, you gotta find a way, cos if you

Don't believe in what you're seeing now

There's nothing more to say!

I can't put out the fire, been blinded by the flame

I have to run for cover, can't stand the pain

Can't stand the pain

The screams are loud but then he can't hear

Nightmare shows his face, then disappears,

Ooh victim of illusion, ooh victim of illusion
