The Song of Illusia (What's Still Unwritten)

Sung by Susan Calloway

Callisto: Xena be warned, Xena beware

By closing you eyes, you can see what isn’t there.

Xena be calm, open your eyes

Lies may be truth and truth may be lies.

Fate is a wheel, it will reveal

All that you are, all that you feel

Destiny knows what has to be

You’ll pay the price, nothing is free

I’ll be your guide, take the hand of you muse

You just might lose your way in the land of Illusia.

Illusia is music, a world built on rhyme.

It’s carved out of space in the absence of time

You’ve tasted how evil and good co-exist

The bitter and sweet of it…

Animal: All in the lips that you kissed.

Callisto: Lion and bull, eagle and snake

To live or die that’s a choice you’ve gotta make

Can you undo what you create?

Chorus: The Fates have a fix on you, we can play tricks on you

We deal in truths you’re too troubled to face.

Gamble the worth of you, on the rebirth of you

Don’t turn away, don’t start to fade.

What’s still unwritten, you can erase.

Callisto: Your villainous infamy tortures your soul

Descent into evil must levy its toll

The darkness that rots you has brought you to this.

Snake: Surrender serenity, suffer sweet misery…

Sin seeks its cursed abyss

Animal: Oh Xena with death there is always rebirth

Animal: Come see with a vision denied you on earth.

Callisto: Illusia is waiting, we’ll show you the way

But all consequences are your own creation

And there’s a price you must pay.

Chorus: The Fates have a fix on you, we can play tricks on you

We deal in truths you’re too troubled to face.

Gamble the worth of you, on the rebirth of you

Now is the time, this is the place.

What’s still unwritten, you can erase.

Illusia is music, a world built on rhyme.

It’s carved out of space in the absence of…

Xena: Alright Callisto. You like little ditties? I got one for ya.

You’re acting so strangely that I hardly know ya

But still I would trust ya as far as I could throw ya.

Callisto: You’re wrong not to trust one that knows you so well

I never betrayed you.

That was… Gabrielle.
