The Mirror Maze

It is time to reflect upon your 'ego-self'. No-where 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...

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 into 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 grows 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

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 armor 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
