	Story Behind the Song The lyrics to this song came to me late one night a few years ago. On the surface, the words seem like they come from a larger story, that you never get to hear all of. On a deeper level, the song is a tribute to my favorite author, Piers Anthony, and a lot of the lyrics are sly references to his most famous fantasy, horror and science fiction novels. In particular, the words "Death", "Time", "Fate", "War", "Nature", "Evil" and "Good" refer to his ~Incarnations of Immortality~ series, which are my all-time favorite books. Lyrics Verse 1 Good evening to you all Things are not what they seem Painted life, tainted death Wake up, it's time to dream Pieces of fate, staring you down The firefly has his way Attempted war, pointless suicide Mother nature turns to clay Chorus She hid from me on a distant moon The evil in her soul spoke to me From a far-off world She had finally reached her goal Verse 2 The gypsy and the unicorn A multi-colored maze Will they see the light of day? In this critical phaze Purple mist from atop the trees Another sleepless night I see the style of the game And I lose the will to fight Chorus Break Verse 3 Good evening to you all The truth is in my eyes Tainted life, painted death Wake up, it's time to die I see the mist from atop the trees Another sleepless night I see the stile of the game And I lose the will to fight Chorus
