Mirrors

Curtains are open but nobody bows on the stage Theater of uncharted misery Turn up the music and turn on the lights Cue up a night of those beautiful fights in the cage Jesters and dancers and symphony Spotlights are pointing and I'm in the light So I guess this is where my sordid tale begins Should I be telling you anything Should I just let it be Echoes on the surface of minds Images of shadow and light are all I see Mirrors and me, mirrors and me Can my reflection be all they can see Mirrors and me, mirrors and me What if I disagree Mirrors and me, mirrors and me How can a picture of mirrors and me Tell a story, tell a tale A tale of how this void illusion came to be Line up the questions I'll show you a man One who knows The price and the cost of everything Stay for a while and I'll show you the high And I must show you the deepest of all time lows Feeling the power a word can bring sorely misunderstood Echoes on the surface of minds Images of shadow and light But I am more... Mirrors and me, mirrors and me Can my reflection be all they can see Mirrors and me, mirrors and me What if I disagree Mirrors and me, mirrors and me How can a picture of mirrors and me Tell a story, tell a tale of fantasy The narrative is simple tricks of light and smoke Stranger's mask, light and smoke Royal voice, light and smoke

I broke my heart when I sold my soul Your voice's speaking Misled indeed by the creed of gold Broken mirrors Went too far to play that role Pictures burning Lived in a lie to get my goal Riot rising War is knocking at my door I will run no more Illusion is a stowaway, my thoughts are cursed Riot rising I live, I die, I pray, I breathe for Riot rising, riot rising Blazing heart of Riot rising, riot rising I'm Gazing the stars I have blood on my hands And I just want more...

A dangerous man or a simple fool should understand Decisions that they do Sometimes leave a trace turning into memories Written in the reveries And then, there are those who won't see... Soul, a long hall of mirrors One reflected by all With nothing to hide the mask will fall Some take all that they can get They have no rules and thus have no regrets Everyone must live in their own way but maybe some have gone astray In need do they know who will stay... Soul, a long hall of mirrors One reflected by all With nothing to hide the mask will fall Soul, a long hall of mirrors One reflected by all Where nothing exists behind the wall There is no way out of this prison now Never knew life would turn like this all around All for one and one for all, so they say Some are treated completely in a different way

Just one more kiss and one more touch No matter how it hurst I gotta trust my hunch In a field of dreams You ought to see The pain I have when your... Dream is in a distant time My heart feels riot's done My scream is a quiet one I may miss, I may cry But what it takes to be alone I feel no fear to keep this course I gave my heart And now it's carved To the stone I cannot find The stone you name Gold

Hey, I'm falling I'm running against the time With my back against the wall Hey you, can you see me I'm trying to hide on the top No more than a reflection of a man I used to be Living in a distant world Out of the line I've chosen my own fate It's another place and time I walk on this road I've been shown I won't dream.... Oh, I'm crawling My spine is scraping the ground This is not where I want to be Hey you, can you see me The curtain's been down for a while No more than a reflection of a man I used to be Wandering without a course I'm up a creek No paddle in sight I need to get back on the road I've been on I won't dream or wait for another day I'll take all that is mine Mirrors reflecting no more I believe my life is not meant to be A story of riches to rags The blank star shines forevermore

Words of the wise Nothing can compare To the beauty of cash Maybe a crime Should we share it fair (who cares) The one source of fame and power I must confess Love I cannot buy Or so at least I've heard Nevertheless great things indeed lie In the rich man's world (Buy happiness by the hour) This is working and nothing's free Designed to flow Greatest of amenities Through the times the legends are told I make it flow Handled with the greatest ease I will have my name carved in gold (Mine devour) Shares and balance come to me Designed to flow Greatest of amenities Through the times the legends are told I make it flow Handled with the greatest ease I will have my name carved in gold (Gold make it flow) Ode to my supremacy It's the sound of a material man I make it flow True source of serenity I take because I can

It's been a while since I realized Your life would not be in my hands Still I hoped you'd understand And I know your life is gold And time is precious in your plans Such a highly valued man I know how it all began I remember why you ran There's so much to say But it will have to wait The door is here, it's not too late Everyone must move along And find their own way down the line You found yours and I found mine I was hoping maybe someday If you might just find the time And if not then I'll be fine You, I know I can't confine All I want is a sign There's so much to say But it will have to wait I hold the weight Time's not on my side But one day you'll see straight And I have faith Looking back to the dream you once had Could you now bring it back It's a sweet, bitter sweet memory How long now has it been I will be right here No matter what your fate And I restate There's so much to say But it will have to wait The door is here, it's not too late

I live, I breath, I walk, I conquer and I.... I am, I win, I take, I hunger and I... Watch the pieces of my life Falling in place as I march them through the motions Power, just absolute power Building the tower The hands of a god Power, a justified power Seizing the hour The hands of a god My time, my path, my land, My kingdom and my... My will, my deeds, my still, My focus and my... Change to carve myself in fire Burning my name on the pages of the legends (Know me, know me.....) It's payback time All that I have learned All that I design All the things you thought you could just burn Forever mine

The state of mind such a bright glee Irreplaceable, invulnerable and free Fail to hunt and become prey In my world I will reign to my dying day Truly to be free Having to cut yourself from All of the ones who would bring you down Means that I can't see Likeliest of the outcomes Tables are turning in the playground Journey undone, the day has come When my delusion, my perfect plans All came crashing down Falling like sand from my hands Broken crown Everything I've done What I have been denying The role that I play in this pitiful farce Never did I run Not even close to flying I am the one who's left with nothing but scars Journey undone, the day has come When my delusion, my perfect plans All came crashing down Falling like sand from my hands Broken crown is all I wear In my delusion, sweet illusion I shied away from the mirrors I've never seen myself All the lives that I have touched Those who walk in parallel I face the consequences Of the company I keep Who would want to stick around But for ones who are like me And to those who I have hurt Hope you know my heart will bleed Do I even know what that means Gone my delusion, my legacy That I could just take money and love was for free I can see reality What my delusion hides underneath It never was me In the end and after all My delusion, my downfall In the end and after all My delusion is no more

When all my yesterdays are brought together as a picture The sight I see are all my castles burning When every word is spoken as a would be conqueror I'm standing still but all the wheels keep turning, oh yeah Was it really me who went wrong Who made a misstep and lost the sight of all that I could be And is this really where I belong A shadow lingering in halls growing empty Do you hear what you are saying Of all the people, you come to beg for sympathy from me You knew full well what you were doing So many times when you found someone to party From here on it's a different world A brand new set of kings and queens Searching for the gold From here on it's a different world A brand new tale of hopes and dreams A rising tide of souls to be sold Sold, unfold, tales untold... Forever must I remember I played and lost, the others won To decide who to be, should I fight or surrender A brand new life has just begun, just begun Masquerade, just a shade, empty voice, a pretender A brand new life has just begun, just begun If I was given a chance I would do it all again

While I have seen a thousand mirrors not one will show what I will be And so who is to know what that really means Name carved in gold maybe someday But as for now just as before Easy come, easy go, time to get some more Late in the night one reflection A pair of eyes always the same Someone thankful for the rain Image attacks and when the surface cracks they turn away their gaze Another time, another place Too many times of course the mirror lies the tears betray disgrace but never seen upon a face While I can feel thousands watching I still decide which light they see and so I can form my own reality This is the end surely must be as we can see last pages turn but I do wonder what did we learn Image attacks and when the surface cracks they turn away their gaze Another time, another place Too many times of course the mirror lies the tears betray disgrace but never seen upon a face No, but if I close my eyes then all this will be fine If I look back in time far behind It's another place and time I know it's the time No mirrors will shine The curtains come down and we bow... I know it's the time No reason or rhyme Astray far away so far...

Someone said they could as well just go without how their lives don't need to measure what it's about Ignorance! Rambling of fools who just wander the earth How can they live without knowing what all of it's worth? It's a simple truth, oh yeah! Someone said life has much more than just what you own People who care, actors who don't You reap just what you sow A brand new start, caring hearts it is all just words to me Such a simple lie Inside of my heart is crying, too blind to see the measure of things I could be Always certain that I get what I deserve Why should I have to choose I can have it all Inside of my heart is crying, too blind to see the guiding vision Still I know I get what I deserve Inside of my heart is screaming, too deaf to hear the drowning voice that tells me what I need to feel, so I get what I deserve Inside of my heart is crying, too blind to see the burning vision, facade, illusion that I get what I deserve
