Smoke And Mirrors — Symphony X

It's all perpetual dreams, this hidden life ain't what it seems Walking dead we are Victims of misfortune and lies, and tortured bringers of demise Circling above like vultures

They reap the harvest that we sew and take, like trusting fools Promising charade All days now disappear from weeks to months, from months to years Forever bound, shackled to the wall

The night falls, I've seen 1000 moons rising in the sky The night calls, I feel the midnight as it slowly cloaks my eyes Touched by the kiss of the sunrise

Live with shadows and fears--behind smoke and mirrors Try to turn back the years--living inside smoke and mirrors

Sacred and serpentine, a hypnotizing twisted theme Weaves our souls to roar Like candles in the wind, our echoed cries above the din Fade into this faceless sculpture

In the wheel of chance and fate, spinning as we watch and wait A mystery to us all On the edge of sanity, we tread the seas of destiny Forever bound, silent voices call

The night falls, I've seen 1000 moons rising in the sky The night calls, I feel the midnight as it slowly cloaks my eyes Touched by the kiss of the sunrise

Live with shadows and fears--behind smoke and mirrors Try to turn back the years--living inside smoke and mirrors

Live with shadows and fears--behind smoke and mirrors Try to turn back the years--living inside smoke and mirrors

Ohh.....the night calls
