A Phantasmic Parade - Epica

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

We will obtains deciphered signs

Believing worlds below that 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 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, 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 prophecies

Burn the hounds alive

You can watch 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, showing the blood red moon

Do not try to defy creation

See the world through the looking glass

(I live to not let go)

You may find you’re hallucinating, If reality is defied

(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
