[Aaron:]
I'm smothered by your lucid nothing
I can't hear and touch and see
But I feel it though I can't believe it
Like master of the observation
Coming up with an explanation
There's no need making use of the spirit

[Temptation:]
We can give you answers you were dying to receive
Keep on dreaming
Keep on screaming
You might be getting too much
for your beating heart to take
Your flesh is malice
Prepare your chalice

Light, breathe and sleep tight
Will you defy intriguing ghost lights
Seeing through all lies and foolish warnings

[Aaron:]
There ain't no return

[Magician:]
Never light the darkness
It may burn your soul away
As you'll be seeing
What you thought you're dreaming

[Temptation:]
Never open doors if you don't
Dare to walk on through
It may be your vault, now it's all your fault

[Magician:]
Light, you're off to the light
Will you defy all evil ghost lights
Tell the truth from decoration

[Scientist:]
Time, don't waste no time
Prevail against the hands
That tick your flesh away
Now delve into your own reflection
You know that's where I've been too
There's nothing but a void out
For the sanity of fools

[Temptation:]
Shine your light into the darkness
And let the storm descend upon you
Then I will make you mine
Shine your light into the darkness
Behold and let aurora fall upon you
Let the storm descend upon you

[Aaron:]
A journey to the other side
Or just a tripping pleasure ride
I don't know but does it really matter?

[Temptation:]
I am he who's always been
Who dares them though I can't be seen
I'm illusion or truth?
I'm confusion

[Magician:]
Light, bring me that light

[Aaron:]
I will bring uncertainty on a silver plate
Like a mantle piece
I will wipe out darkness
Night, blessed is the night
Till there's no time left to spill to save and kill
To take and seize
You just drift along
Are they reflections of some crazy dream
Or maybe the backside of reality

[Magician:]
Shine your light into the darkness
And let the storm descend upon you
Then I will make you mine
Shine your light into the darkness
Behold and let aurora fall upon you
Let the storm descend upon you

[Scientist I:]
You gotta pray your god ain't just a ghostlight
You gotta pray you won't be falling down the wayside
Let it carry you away
Cut the gem until it's purified away
The candle burning to the ground

[Aaron:]
I don't see nothing but addiction to the ride
That kindles everything around

[Magician:]
For all the world will see it tower to the stars
And all is melting into one

[Scientist I:]
We'll give them something to fall back on
Everytime they're too strung out to run

[Aaron:]
Every moment, every heartbeat, every breath
Leaves you one less to your last

[Scientist I:]
Still you cherish every second of the game
Give me the future, you take the past

[Magician:]
What if God is just an image in the mind
A reflection of the will

[Scientist I:]
And what's the matter with a lie
You live in harmony with
For a sucker for the thrill

[Aaron:]
I pray the lord ain't just a ghost light in my mind
A reflection of the will
Let the storm descend upon me
Let aurora fall upon me

[Temptation:]
Let the fire fall upon him
Let the fire purify him
Never judge a thing you see
It's only what your mortal eyes will want it to be
Bring it on, let the dark inhale the confusion
Spit out a conclusion

[Aaron:]
Are they reflections or a memory
Or just reflections in a crazy dream

[Temptation:]
Shine your light into the darkness
And let the storm descend upon you
[Magician:]
And I will make you mine
[Temptation:]
Shine your light into the darkness
[Scientist I:]
Behold and let aurora fall upon you

[Magician:]
Shine your light into the darkness
[Temptation:]
Into the darkness
[Magician:]
And let the storm descend upon you
Then I will make you mine
[Scientist I:]
Shine your light into the darkness
[Temptation:]
Into the darkness

[Magician:]
Behold and let aurora fall upon you
Let the storm descend upon you

[Temptation:]
Let the storm descend upon you
Descend upon you
