Xena be warned, Xena beware! By closing your eyes you'll see what isn't there Xena be calm, open your eyes Lies may be truth, and truth...may be lies
XENA (spoken):
All right, Callisto, cut the song and dance. What’s going on? Where are we?
CALLISTO:
Fate is a wheel--it will reveal All you've become, all that you feel Destiny knows what has to be And you'll pay the price, nothing is free I'll be your guide, take the hand of your muse You just might lose your way in the land of Illusia!

ANIMALS:
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
CALLISTO AND ANIMALS:
What's still unwritten you can't erase Illusia is music a world full of rhyme It's carved out of space in the absence of--
