(The Illusion of the Lake)

I tried to catch the sun
but it was only a reflection in the water.
I was only seeking treasure
But I ended up ‘kissing the gunner’s daughter’
The velvet coated bard I followed,
was just a caird who was in a play.
I looked up to the sky to see
they had blackened ‘the eye of the day‘.
chorus
Glaik – (sang as in Gkl ai..ai..K (3 times)
Glaik – (sang as in Gkl ai..ai..K (3 times)
The Illusion of the lake.
I went to see the archimage
but he turned out to be just a javel.
I pulled the bedclothes back
to see a snake unravel.
I almost made the rainbow’s end
when it suddenly turned wan.
I gledged upon a peacock,
who suddenly lost his fan.

Same story as for Beneath the Phaeic Sky. Written for Railroad. Glaik is an archaic word for illusion.
