I focus upon this    Considered real and true    Within time, fixed it seems in form and space       The dream is so real, as I participate    From experienced reality there is no escape    I interact in illusive reflections    Internal mind perceptions       Embracing illusions    Believing what I am shown    The veil of illusions    Pretending to be what is real       Slowly I realize, my eyes deceive me    Nothing is what it seems to be    The eyes perform a complex trickery    Decoding numbers into imagery       Embracing illusions    Believing what I am shown    The veil of illusions    Pretending to be what is real       I touch only shadows, what I see is not real    Lost in mere appearance, what I hear is false    I can feel the sorrow blinding all of this world    Tear the veil to pieces    And slip through the shreds       Solo: Per       Should I close my eyes and depart    End the beating of the heart    Would I not wake from a lifelong dream    Exposing the grandest of schemes       Embracing illusions    Believing what I am shown    The veil of illusions    Pretending to be what is real       I touch only shadows, what I see is not real    Lost in mere appearance, what I hear is false    I can feel the sorrow blinding all of this world    Tear the veil to pieces    And slip through the shreds       Embracing illusions    The veil of illusions    I touch only shadows, what I see is not real    Lost in mere appearance, what I hear is false
