The Empty Mirror
Chasing my own death through life
A future trapped in yesterday
When everything was fresh and bright
Then innocence found its grave
Empty mirror, soul replacer
Empty mirror, youth taker
Summer came in rays of light
Overwhelming joy it gave
Blinding all life's pain from sight
Golden days could not be saved
Empty mirror, soul replacer
Empty mirror, youth taker
In dark caves, wisdom reigns
Awareness dulls ambition's flame
Like a corpse, in soil laid
Trust and faith long since decayed
Togetherness, broken mess
Devotion sought and found in vain
Blind fatigue, debased intrigue
Love was traded in for pain
A path I followed with blind eyes
Running all this way to find
The terminal of painful truth
Where purity and innocence died, yeah
Empty mirror, soul replacer
Empty mirror, youth taker
Dying face of beauty fades
Before my eyes as you ascend
Sail away with the sun
To never feel my touch again
Free once more to roam in hell
This lonely world represents hell
Solitude shares the pain
A secret lover 'til the end
I have lost the will to live
Will it come to pass?
Need the strength to carry on
Must forget the past
The empty mirror tells no lies
Reflections of another face
Just nothingless is recognised
I'm stranded in a long-lost place
Empty mirror, soul replacer
Empty mirror, I'm a stranger
Here I stand, all alone
Before a cross my conscience pleads yesterday
A thorn embraced as the future slowly bleeds
Awaken now, bury the past
Put to rest, no longer grieve
Chase the light, pass the gates
Leave this graveyard of lost dream
A future trapped in yesterday
When everything was fresh and bright
Then innocence found its grave
Empty mirror, soul replacer
Empty mirror, youth taker
Summer came in rays of light
Overwhelming joy it gave
Blinding all life's pain from sight
Golden days could not be saved
Empty mirror, soul replacer
Empty mirror, youth taker
In dark caves, wisdom reigns
Awareness dulls ambition's flame
Like a corpse, in soil laid
Trust and faith long since decayed
Togetherness, broken mess
Devotion sought and found in vain
Blind fatigue, debased intrigue
Love was traded in for pain
A path I followed with blind eyes
Running all this way to find
The terminal of painful truth
Where purity and innocence died, yeah
Empty mirror, soul replacer
Empty mirror, youth taker
Dying face of beauty fades
Before my eyes as you ascend
Sail away with the sun
To never feel my touch again
Free once more to roam in hell
This lonely world represents hell
Solitude shares the pain
A secret lover 'til the end
I have lost the will to live
Will it come to pass?
Need the strength to carry on
Must forget the past
The empty mirror tells no lies
Reflections of another face
Just nothingless is recognised
I'm stranded in a long-lost place
Empty mirror, soul replacer
Empty mirror, I'm a stranger
Here I stand, all alone
Before a cross my conscience pleads yesterday
A thorn embraced as the future slowly bleeds
Awaken now, bury the past
Put to rest, no longer grieve
Chase the light, pass the gates
Leave this graveyard of lost dream
