Pain Of Salvation - Beyond The Mirror lyrics

[southamerican bonus track]

[Music and Lyrics by D.Gildenlow]

Through a dusty window I watch the clouds draw near

A lovely vision of my doom

The sunlight's fading - reflections start to dim

Through the dusty window in this room

I'm walking through my memories as I'm staring through the glass

I have to claim I'm innocent

Though I can't remember what I've done these past few nights

I can't be the one that Father Kane believes I am

I see myself now, in the dusty glass

All wired up in this chair

My face is foreign and my weary eyes are black

I see myself through that stare

Eternal alleys that lead to walls hidden behind unlocked doors

I claim the handle, I need to see

Even though I'll surely be afraid of what I may find...

...beyond the mirror!

(Inside the circle)

I walk through mazes of cold corridors

Searching for the core of my mind

My heartbeats reach out to find another pulse

That once was bound and confined

The two different heartbeats, becoming one

Are causing the coalescence of my soul

A quiet outcry - a silent scream - is filling me as I am driven back

From shadows that dwell...

...beyond the mirror!

(Inside the circle)

[Hallgren/D.Gildenlow/Both/Hallgren/D.Gildenlow/Both]

My world is frozen as I'm staring through the glass

Gazing through the window at my memories

Not longer foreign

Though I somehow wish...they were

The glowing fingers of a violent raging sky

In search for evil find a path

They rush through my veins, they invite my pulse to die

They end my life with frenzied wrath

Amidst the shadows of whisper land

I feel that something's binding me to life

Confined in nowhere by no ones hand

I realize the pact is unfulfilled

I'm trapped on the edge...

...beyond the mirror!

(Inside the circle)
