The Mirror Maze Lyrics

The Mirror Maze The remaining heroes come to "The Mirror Maze". The Hippie reflects on his past, talking to his reflection in the mirrors about what made him the way he is ("he's aware that no one cares/and life's unfair/so he grows his hair/and takes a trip into eternity"). The Futureman encourage the Hippie to defy this ghost from the past. The Knight and the Roman, meanwhile, struggle with their own desperation: the Knight being more optimistic and helping the Roman to break out of "The Mirror Maze". Ayreon The Mirror Maze lyrics 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. part: 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. part: 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 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
