The Mirror Maze Lyrics - Ayreon

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 

[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
