[Verse 1]
From the bottom of the pit of nightmares she will come
From the dungeons of insanity to haunt the wicked mind
A crooked finger points, a spell is cast, words can kill
A weaver of the web of tears, a daughter of the dark

[Interlude]
Oh, the moon is so cold
See the grace of her presence

[Verse 2]
Giving you the poisoned apple, beauty or beast
Dancing naked in the rain with eyes that cannot see
Calling demons that have not spoken in a thousand years
Old sad eyes of wisdom tell of dreams we can't reach

[Pre-Chorus]
When the moon is so cold
When the air breathes of evil
And the black skies will burn
See, her shadow is rising

[Chorus]
The dying illusion
The loss of a friend
The dying illusion
Please come back again
[Verse 3]
The hideous smile of the Devil's child will tease you to believe
A forbidding shape, witch or virgin, over a sinister moon
Fatal grace that blinds and binds, assaults and astounds
From the cradle of eternity to the fears of modern man

[Pre-Chorus]
When the moon is so cold
When the air breathes of evil
And the black skies will burn
See, her shadow is rising

[Chorus]
The dying illusion
The loss of a friend
The dying illusion
Please come back again
