Lyrics Ayreon – The Mirror Maze
Text:
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
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
