smoke and mirrors

• symphony x'in "twilight in olympus" albümünde yer alan ve canlı olarak dinlemesi de ayrı bir keyif veren harika parça:
  
  smoke and mirrors
  
  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
