5. Phantasmagoria (3:41)
My old master knows his game
Demonstrating feats insane
Decapitation of your senses - in dim light
You may wonder, you may faint
Witness magic in a frame
In this world you see all fences dislimn tonight
Like a dream, into the fire
Wanna scream, but gaze in awe
You chalk it up as a nightmare
It's just a show, albeit a dire
One too real to not be right
Oh, what do you see?
Out of the dark, see them guises fly
As they twine around your soul
And reach inside
Out of the dark, we seize your mind
In this luminate phantasmagoria
Madness lurking in between
What you've known and what you'll see
It's apparently profane
It's the abyss you stare into
Till it's staring back at you
I'm the terror you can't name
My parade is running deep
Come to plague you when you sleep
And you will say I'm a nightmare
Then you'll slowly disappear
From over there to over here
You are welcome, anytime!
Out of the dark, see them guises fly
As they twine around your soul
And reach inside
Out of the dark, we seize your mind
In this luminate phantasmagoria
You're in for a thrill
In this theatre of dreams
Just open your eyes
Blood-curdling chills
From what you will see
The dark will arise
To take you away
Out of the dark, see them guises fly
As they twine around your soul
And reach inside
Out of the dark, we seize your mind
In this luminate phantasmagoria
Demonstrating feats insane
Decapitation of your senses - in dim light
You may wonder, you may faint
Witness magic in a frame
In this world you see all fences dislimn tonight
Like a dream, into the fire
Wanna scream, but gaze in awe
You chalk it up as a nightmare
It's just a show, albeit a dire
One too real to not be right
Oh, what do you see?
Out of the dark, see them guises fly
As they twine around your soul
And reach inside
Out of the dark, we seize your mind
In this luminate phantasmagoria
Madness lurking in between
What you've known and what you'll see
It's apparently profane
It's the abyss you stare into
Till it's staring back at you
I'm the terror you can't name
My parade is running deep
Come to plague you when you sleep
And you will say I'm a nightmare
Then you'll slowly disappear
From over there to over here
You are welcome, anytime!
Out of the dark, see them guises fly
As they twine around your soul
And reach inside
Out of the dark, we seize your mind
In this luminate phantasmagoria
You're in for a thrill
In this theatre of dreams
Just open your eyes
Blood-curdling chills
From what you will see
The dark will arise
To take you away
Out of the dark, see them guises fly
As they twine around your soul
And reach inside
Out of the dark, we seize your mind
In this luminate phantasmagoria
