{ominous orchestral swell} {low brass
stabs} {military snare roll} (ahhhh)
The screens were glowing high and bright
To frame the shadows of the night
They called it the greatest show on earth A grand illusion given
birth {intimate baritone vocal} {plucked cello pizzicato}
And the crowds they would believe
Every word
designed to deceive
{vocal rising in pitch} {timpani swell} The big lie on the silver
screen
The grandest franchise ever seen
The masterpiece of their design
A golden age
along the line
{explosive symphonic rock release} {distorted orchestral brass} {heavy cinematic epic drums}
A modern myth in black and white
A false projection of the light
It made its mark,
it ruled the stage
The finest fable of the age
{subdued baritone vocals} {tremolo violin backing}
And the credits start to roll
As the story takes its toll (hmmm) {fading piano arpeggios} {soft
solo cello} {cold orchestral
finish}
