Grandest Illusion Songtext
von Rise and Fall of a Decade

Did she have to prove
At each moment her personality
How long, how long
Could she keep on smiling like this

Did she have to prove
At each moment her personality
How long, how long
Could she keep on smiling like this
How long, how long
Did she have to explain her desires
Wild appearance
To protect herself
From this amazing world

Only twenty years
Only twenty years
A dream between two wars
Only twenty years
Only twenty years
Grandest illusion


Her best answer
Was her terrible, terrible silence
No man, no cry
No comment about her own behaviour
No happy ending
At the peak of, at the peak of her glory
She stole the best
The best in a man
She stole his voice

Only twenty years
Only twenty years
A dream between two wars
Only twenty years
Only twenty years
Grandest illusion
Only twenty years
Only twenty years
A dream between two wars
Only twenty years
Only twenty years
Grandest illusion

They don′t know who she is
Elsewhere
They don't know where she lives
Elsewhere
They don′t know why she smiles
Elsewhere
They don't know what she thinks

Elsewhere
They don't know who she is
Elsewhere
They don′t know where she lives
Elsewhere
They don′t know why she smiles
Elsewhere
They don't know what she
They don′t know what she thinks
