I was going through a Cannibal Corpse trip when I wrote most of this one believe it or not, but the melodic chorus kind of crept up out of nowhere.

Story behind the song
The lyrics deal with how stubborn we are with our various points of view. Sometimes even when all evidence contradicts what we believe, we don't want to leave the comfort of our existing worldview, because we're afraid of what the alternative might be.
Lyrics
In vain we try to see the world with unobstructed vision
Persistant is irrationality in its attempts to pollute
To blind us from truth
So slow the veil is pulled away as it's lifted from our eyes
The more we see the more we cling to the comfort of delusion
Blessed are the ignorant
Cursed be those who can see
Turn away, lest you see yourself
All you've ever seen - a facade
Elaborate Illusion
When they lift the blind - will you look?
Or will you cover your eyes afraid
The curtain is lifting now
The hologram is fading out
This front is falling down
Don't turn away
All you've ever seen - a facade
Elaborate Illusion
When they lift the blind - will you look?
Or will you cover your eyes afraid
All you've ever seen - a facade
Elaborate Illusion
When they lift the blind - will you look?
Or will you cover your eyes afraid
