The Illusion of Power (2024 Tony Iommi Remix)
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
Illusion of power
Things that I feel seem so real
Illusion of power
I can't get the emotional thing straight in my head
Everything I love dies too soon or is already dead
Don't stand too close, I spit and breathe fire
Anything I've got now you cannot desire
You wanna 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
Illusion of power
Things that I feel seem so real
Illusion of power
Illusion of power
It's already set, signed and sealed
Illusion of power
Powerful, who are you fooling?
You're caught in a complex catacomb of your own
Inadequacies and pitiful weaknesses
Your soul secretes insecurity
So you live on the reflection side of the mirror
You're terrified of true power, you fear me
I can tell you stories of my shaded past
And I can drag you down into the depths of my soul
Illusion of power
Things that I feel seem so real
Illusion of power
Illusion of power
It's already set, signed and sealed
Illusion of power
Why don't you come closer?
Promise a story I will tell, yeah
I'll save you from your dreams, yeah
Save you from your dreams
You to fear me
It's illusion
Just an illusion
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
Illusion of power
Things that I feel seem so real
Illusion of power
I can't get the emotional thing straight in my head
Everything I love dies too soon or is already dead
Don't stand too close, I spit and breathe fire
Anything I've got now you cannot desire
You wanna 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
Illusion of power
Things that I feel seem so real
Illusion of power
Illusion of power
It's already set, signed and sealed
Illusion of power
Powerful, who are you fooling?
You're caught in a complex catacomb of your own
Inadequacies and pitiful weaknesses
Your soul secretes insecurity
So you live on the reflection side of the mirror
You're terrified of true power, you fear me
I can tell you stories of my shaded past
And I can drag you down into the depths of my soul
Illusion of power
Things that I feel seem so real
Illusion of power
Illusion of power
It's already set, signed and sealed
Illusion of power
Why don't you come closer?
Promise a story I will tell, yeah
I'll save you from your dreams, yeah
Save you from your dreams
You to fear me
It's illusion
Just an illusion
