That sounds more than a bit like a riff on the lyric from Mirror of Illusion/Mask of the Morning.  

Thanks,

Arin

It preceded Zarozinia but seemed to be quite separate and a different
tempo.   I'm sure I've heard it before and will probably discover it's on a
CD somewhere and I really should have known it!   The lyrics  (to my
admittedly now rather vague recollection) included lines something like -
and these are nowhere near correct!   "You sit beside the window and you
watch the world go by - you think you've found ?a reason/?an
answer.........   [then something about] you are living a lie"

The only change I might have wished for was to have Damnation Alley instead of Psychedelic Warlords but they'd played that track  (and it was
excellent) the previous day and had already shifted Orgone Accumulation from the 1st to the 2nd set so it was probably a better balance to leave things as they were.

All just memories now.
