Re: The Sandmans Illusion

I love this song. Only thing I could say is it is pretty short, not enough breaks between verses/chorus. But like I say many times, not my song and this is the way it is.
very well done

And this line

"wipe the clouds out of your eyes your every thing that you despise"

What a great line that is.
