Illusion of Life
This macabre and dramatic song by Swedish power metal band Dionysus would function equally well as a powerful opener or darker change of pace number after a more upbeat opener. This chart works in a number of different show themes involving life/death, light/dark, lost/found. It features a short soprano solo and a killer guitar part.
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto & Tenor Sax

You see the shadows closing in I know the fall has just begun Nowhere to hide, you can't get out You are trapped inside your lonely life Empty inside almost insane Feel so lonely you're stuck to bear the pain Only you can take control Watch out before the hangman takes your soul Don't hide there is nowhere to run No escaping from all the things you've done It's time to face reality There is no chance for you to ever feel Falling, losing your ground And time's running out But still you're blind You're down and out, you're lost in paradise You're just a fool, a fraud filled with lies You're in a land where shadows are watching you That land is only an illusion of life! Watch out darkness will come your way Decide now if you ever want to change You're the one with the golden key To the future and to your destiny Falling, losing your ground And time's running out But still you're blind You see the shadows closing in I know the fall has just begun Nowhere to hide, you can't get out You are trapped inside your life! You're down and out, you're lost in paradise You're just a fool, a fraud filled with lies You're in a land where shadows are watching you That land is only an illusion of life! (Dionysus)
