Lyrics

It is time to reflect upon your "ego-self".
Nowhere to hide when the walls echo the you that we all see.
Ah, the smiles dissolve!
The pulse begins to race; the face a flush of fear so plainly painted.
The Mirror
World - the
Mirror Maze:
Confrontation... [A. INSIDE THE MIRROR MAZE] [hippie] mirror mirror
I can see a lonely child, he kinda looks like me staring out into infinity his father lies, his mother cries, his spirit flies up in the skies wandering off to another galaxy [futureman] secret fears we all try to hide lie dormant deep inside us defy the ghosts of long forgotten days here inside the mirror maze [hippie] mirror mirror
I can see an angry boy, oh well
I guess he's me rising up to the society he's aware that no one cares and life's unfair so he growa his hair and takes a trip into eternity [futureman] secret fears we all try to hide lie dormant deep inside us defy the ghosts of long forgotten days here inside the mirror maze [B. THROUGH THE MIRROR] [roman]</i>
I see a man, who's unable to withstand his fears inside [knight]</i> inside we're all but frightened men but we have to fight until the end is here [roman]</i> hear what
I say: I am doomed,
I have to pay,
I can't go on [knight]</i> go on and persevere for we have to make it out of here alive [roman]</i> a life is but a dream, for in the mirror
I have seen what lies within [knight]</i> within this armour cold and bright lies a noble heart with the will to fight the pain [roman]</i> the pain cannot be healed,
I'm surrounded by this shield
I cannot break [knight]</i> break through the mirror now follow me,
I will show you how [roman]</i> we've reached the other side,
I have overcome my pride and made it through [knight]</i> we threw aside our darkest fears and stepped across these new frontiers of time [roman]</i> time can only tell what awaits us in this hell full of deceit [knight]</i> deceit, guile and treachery will they ever set us free again? [roman]</i> riding on the wings of time
