Doctor Smoke - 'World of Illusion' (New Song - Live)

Is this real or just a dream?
It's a world of illusion, or so it seems
It's a puzzle you can't solve
All the pieces are scattered
They don't make sense at all

But if you look a little deeper
You'll find you're just a walking sleeper

Reality lies in your perception
It's staring back at you in your reflection
It's smoke and mirrors, it's all a lie
Take a step back, open up your eyes

If you're lost in search of meaning
Just turn around, you're only dreaming

And you're all alone
And you've turned to stone
You've been paralyzed
By the lies you're told
You're not feeling right
No, no, too many restless nights
While you toss and turn in
Your own private hell

You've been wrong a thousand times
You'll be wrong a thousand more
Haunting echoes cast a spell
Countdown to your death knell
Ringing your funeral bell
Over and over, it's drawing closer

You're all alone
And you've turned to stone
You've been paralyzed
By the lies you're told
You're not feeling right
No, no, too many restless nights
While you toss and turn in
Your own private hell

Οι Doctor Smoke μας έρχονται από το Οχάιο. Δημιουργήθηκαν προ δωδεκαετίας (το 2012) και "παντρεύουν" το heavy metal με το dark heavy rock (κατά δήλωση των ιδίων). Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δύο "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους ("The Witching Hour" 2014), "Dreamers and the Dead" 2021).

Εν έτει 2024 επιστρέφουν με νέο τραγούδι. Φέρει τον τίτλο "World of Illusion" και μας το παρουσιάζουν "ζωντανά" από την προ ημερών (22 Ιουνίου 2024) εμφάνισή τους στην Altoona (Pennsylvania) με το Αμερικάνικο συγκρότημα να μας λέει σχετικά:
