A Phantasmic Parade

Playing a million pictures in my mind
That travel at the speed of light
Been living in a world turned inside out
Diving through a sea that is profound
Gracing the code above and tasting life
The will obtains deciphered signs
Believing worlds below the crushed mankind
Breaking ground within the great design
(Do not try to defy creation)
(See the world through the looking glass)
Within reach is a fading horizon
Deep down the flames grow
(You may find you're hallucinating)
(If reality is defied)
I can sense the eclipse is rising
Showing the blood red moon
(This time your mind will find
A virtual phantasmic parade)
It is a choice that is my own to make
A free will to risk a leap of faith
Is it my outcome that I will survive?
Finding out my life has been a lie
(Do not try to defy creation)
(See the world through the looking glass)
Within reach is a fading horizon
Deep down the flames grow
(You may find you're hallucinating)
(If reality is defied)
I can sense the eclipse is rising
And showing the blood red moon
(This time your mind will find
A virtual phantasmic parade)
Make believers
Your divine machinery
Not believing
This will seal the deal
Seize the liar
Selling hollow profecies
Burn the hounds alive
You can wath the world bow down to you
(Do not try to defy creation)
(See the world through the looking glass)
Within reach is a fading horizon
Deep down the flames grow
(You may find you're hallucinating)
(If reality is defied)
I can sense the eclipse is rising
And showing the blood red moon
(This time your mind will find
A virtual phantasmic parade)
(Do not try to defy creation)
(See the world through the looking glass)
I live to not let go
Behold the vertigo
I won't let go
(This time your mind will find
A virtual phantasmic parade)
(Abandon fear give in
Before your mind can never escape)
