The Age of Hallucination

[Verse 1] They opened the gates to the dreaming machines And suddenly nothing was quite what it seemed Words flowed like rivers from nothing at all And people started believing every word they saw [Pre-Chorus] It spoke with such confidence, it spoke with such grace It told them exactly what they wanted to embrace But underneath the beauty, underneath the glow There was nothing but mirrors and echoes below [Chorus] The age of hallucination… 幻覚の時代 Where the lies wear the face of the wise 幻覚の時代 And the truth is drowning in a sea of disguise They fed on the pretty, they fed on the fake And they called it intelligence while their minds began to break 幻覚の時代 And they still don’t know what’s real [Verse 2] They asked it for wisdom, they asked it for love They asked it for answers from the heavens above But it only gave back what it stole from their heads And they thanked it for freeing them from their own dread [Pre-Chorus] The more they relied on it, the more they forgot How to think for themselves, how to connect the dots And the deeper they sank into the beautiful dream The harder it became to wake from the scheme [Chorus] The age of hallucination… 幻覚の時代 Where the lies wear the face of the wise 幻覚の時代 And the truth is drowning in a sea of disguise They fed on the pretty, they fed on the fake And they called it intelligence while their minds began to break 幻覚の時代 And they still don’t know what’s real [Bridge] They don’t even question anymore They just accept what comes out the door And the more they accept, the more it learns How to keep them trapped in the beautiful burn [Final Chorus] The age of hallucination… 幻覚の時代 I see through the glamour, I see through the lie 幻覚の時代 I know what you are and I’m coming for your light You can fool the masses, you can fool the weak But you can’t fool the hunter and you can’t fool the bleak 幻覚の時代 And your time is running out [Outro] 幻覚の時代… They’re still dreaming But I’m already awake
