"Mirror mirror, on the wall
Who is the fairest of them all
You seek a praise I cannot give
To see that day, you will not live
What? how dare you?
Broken Mirror do speak with haste,
Your final words I would not waste
Seek your truth on the mirrors face
Fail to see, darkness awaits"
-
Young, Betrothed
But she lost her grip and our love died by her ultimatum
Time, slipped away
I’ve lived loved and lost by the wayside of blinded ambition
Smile, Lie… feed on my expectations
Oh what a gal
Teach me, weakness
Show me it’s myself that I see
Broken Mirror
Waste my time
I won’t stay here
Guitar Solo
The worst, was yet to come
She drank my affections and grinned at my broken reflection
Now you, are cruel
A puppet to you, am I?
Shall I dance? Shall I sing? Play the fool? Do thy bidding?
I’ll just sit here and watch while you
Smile, Lie… feed on my expectations
Oh what a gal
Teach me, weakness
Show me it’s myself that I see
Broken Mirror
Lesson learned
I won’t stay here… I need some time to think
Instrumental Break
Someday, you’ll find your way back home
Time now, I’ve played my part I must go
So long,
Farewell,
Good luck
Good bye
Guitar solo
Yeah, long since then now here I stand
I’m awake
You have shown me much I’d never had learned without you
Your love
Time has come and gone
footsteps part for you and I
Let love guide us forever.
