Lyrics

1. THE ILLUSIONIST

As an outcast I paced defeat
Seeking comfort in this painful retreat
Made an oracle against my will
Word spread of miraculous skills

Premonitions call my name
I once doubted them all when they came
Now I embrace it and I''ll never be the same

Transfixed in the desert sands
Take a look at my once empty hand
See the rose that appears so real
Just like the one you saw in your dreams

Those who call me avatar
Know not what they''re looking for
They just feed their flames with miracles
Just so you know
If you bathe within my light
You diminish your own might
The illusionist in everyone

As an outcast I faced defeat
Seeking comfort in this painful retreat
Made an oracle against my will
Word spread of miraculous skills

Premonitions call my name
I once doubted them all when they came
Now I embrace it and I''ll never be the same

Those who call me avatar
Know not what they''re looking for
They just feed their flames with miracles
Just so you know
If you bathe within my light
You diminish your own might
Illusionist in everyone

What I say and what I do was once potential
Sprung from the infinite place that dictates the seen

Those who call me avatar
Know not what they''re looking for
They just feed their flames with miracles
Just so you know
If you bathe within my light
You diminish your own might
Illusionist in everyone

In everyone!


2. MIND MACHINE

All free will is gone
Automatic knowledge
Humans lead in leashes
Silent, untrue
All are subjects to
Automated liars
Broadcast feelings through
Machines that makes you

Wither away
Death of the soul
Indoctrinated in false grace

Bio-machinery
Mind and machinery
Fear now fuels the system
Bio-machinery

Target is the world
Structuring the madness
Terminating ancient
Concepts of truth
Power structure comes
Silent weapons fired
Quiet wars in minds
The damage is done

Wither away
Death of the soul
Indoctrinated in false grace

Bio-machinery
Mind and machinery
Fear now fuels the system
Bio-machinery

All hope that died must rise anew
By facing the passage of time
All that we''ve known was bound to drown
Before we could wake

Bio-machinery
Mind and machinery
Fear now fuels the system
Bio-machinery
