Gruesome Comments:
“‘Fatal Illusions is a track that was truly co-written by Dan, Gus and myself musically and it was a lot of fun to arrange everyone’s riffs while we put the song together. One of the coolest things about this new record, for me personally, is that the writing has become more and more of a team effort, which is invigorating and keeps things interesting for us. When looking at Spiritual Healing for inspiration, one of the more depressing realizations that I came to as far as the lyrics, was that many of the topics that DEATH were addressing back in 1990 are still major issues today. As everyone knows, mass shootings have reached epidemic proportions in this country and we felt that it was a very ‘death metal’ appropriate topic to tackle. This tune is more about the delusions that lead someone to commit this kind of violence; the mindset that would make someone take such a drastic and tragic course of action. Before anyone starts projecting their own politics on the song, this is not an anti or pro gun song. This is an anti-mass shooting song. And if you think that there’s anything controversial about that, you can fuck right off.”’

Lyrics:
Living, in constant fear, about to snap
Believing all you see and hear, caught in their trap
Hatred, drips from your every word
Dictated and brainwashed to believe in the absurd
Confused – in heart and mind
Paranoia – makes you blind
Violence – the only answer that you want to find
So certain, in your convictions
You can’t tell, fact from fiction
Existing, in confusion
Led astray by fatal illusions
Lives brought to their conclusions
Betrayed by fatal illusions
Fatal illusions
Fatal illusions
Blinded by ideology
Out of touch with reality
Off the edge of insanity
A pawn in their conspiracy
Solo – Dan
Fanatic, for years you fantasized
Ecstatic now you finally take a life
Bodies, lie bleeding, ignore the screams of pain
One bullet left, to put through your own brain
Confused – you see signs everywhere
Paranoia – fear things that aren’t there
Violence – committed with an empty stare
So certain, in your convictions
You can’t tell, fact from fiction
Existing, in confusion
Led astray by fatal illusion
Life brought to a conclusion
Betrayed by fatal illusions
Fatal illusions
Fatal illusions
