Ayreon - The Mirror Maze 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 see a man, who's unable to withstand his fears inside

[knight] inside we're all but frightened men

but we have to fight until the end is here

[roman] hear what I say: I am doomed,

I have to pay, I can't go on

[knight] go on and persevere

for we have to make it out of here alive

[roman] a life is but a dream,

for in the mirror I have seen what lies within

[knight] within this armour cold and bright

lies a noble heart with the will to fight the pain

[roman] the pain cannot be healed,

I'm surrounded by this shield I cannot break

[knight] break through the mirror now

follow me, I will show you how

[roman] we've reached the other side,

I have overcome my pride and made it through

[knight] we threw aside our darkest fears

and stepped across these new frontiers of time

[roman] time can only tell what awaits us in this hell full of deceit

[knight] deceit, guile and treachery

will they ever set us free again?

[roman] riding on the wings of time
