C#m 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 G#m B A# The illusion of power, A G#m things I feel, seem so real G#m B A# A G#m The illusion of power I can' get the emotional thing straight in my head Everything I love dies to soon, or is already dead Don't stand too close I spit and breath fire Anything I've got now you cannot desire You want to 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: The illusion of power, things I feel, seem so real The illusion of power The illusion of power, it's already set signed and sealed The illusion of power D#m Powerful who are you fooling?
