Virtual Enemies

"Virtual Enemies" is the level theme for the stage Capital City in Sonic Forces. A synthetic drum 'n bass instrumental, it describes the illusions created by the Phantom Ruby, which the Avatar must avoid and ignore.

Lyrics

No matter what may come our way

We have the odds, we'll make them pay

'Cause they're not real, it's make-believe

We will defeat insanity
'Cause virtual reality

Are just a bunch of soulless fakes

So bring them down onto their knees

We will defeat insanity
Don't believe

Virtual

Enemies
We will defeat insanity
Nothing's real, it's all a game

We will win, make no mistake

You must trust your heart, not what you see
Just a crazy fantasy

We will win, I guarantee

Nothing can defeat reality

No matter what may come our way, We have the odds, we'll make them pay - The Resistance will fight back the Eggman Empire, no matter the challenges they face.
'Cause they're not real, it's make-believe - Infinite's replicas.
We will defeat insanity - Infinite's illusions will be beaten.
Virtual reality - Infinite's powers.
Don't believe... virtual... enemies - Knuckles urging his soldiers not to believe the Phantom Ruby's fake monsters.
