Hear ye the story of the Grand Mirage
A constitution of evil and splendor
The land had been condemned by the Ma-hiraja
But the prince was much too young to remember
It was first discovered by an Apostle of God
Whose life, by then, was all but forsaken
Across the unforgiving desert he had stumbled and crawled
His mind was weak now, his body was aching
The sun grew cruel with the heat of high noon
The snakes were bathing and the buzzards were soaring
When just beyond that desert's largest dune
A paradise lie before him
And in that moment in incomprehensible bliss
His precious God he had forgotten to thank
No this salvation had not come from any spiritual kiss
And he didn't give a f*ck, to be quite frank

Alone in that place the prophet lived in hypnotic euphoria
But just because he feels something
That doesn't mean that it's good for ya
Forgot was his name, unrecognizable became his visage
And now his life will last him forever in the Grand Mirage

The grasses grew tall and the trees bore fruit
That taste of sweet juice and bitter narcotics
The cool breeze whispers with the voices of ghosts
Final words perhaps, at least they are honest
Our prophet was a practical man it would seem
He was never one for superstition
But he would be remised not to dwell on this dream
Lest he forget that it's all but a vision
While this paradise might seem a cheap thrill
Bounties lost and temptations so rife
It only nurtures, it does not kill
But almost never fails to take a life
For after your fragile human mortality
From the rest of you has taken it's part
Only then will you truly see
That life is so much more than your beating heart
Yes it is

So who are you now, if all your life you've fancied yourself a hypocrite?
What's the point of loving something if all the love is making you sick of it?
Forgot was his name, unrecognizable became his visage
And now his life will last him forever in the Grand Mirage
Have you forgotten yourself?
Have you taken on the name of a stranger?
Have you the courage, the power
To free yourself from certain danger? No no no
And will you spite yourself for a chance at what's at large
Or become just another soul
Lost among the Grand Mirage
