The Empty Mirror - Cathedral

Chasing my own death through life

A future trapped in yesterday

When everything was fresh and bright

Then innocence found its grave

Empty mirror, soul replacer

Empty mirror, youth taker

Summer came in rays of light

Overwhelming joy it gave

Blinding all life’s pain from sight

Golden days could not be saved

Empty mirror, soul replacer

Empty mirror, youth taker

In dark caves

Wisdom reigns

Awareness dulls ambition’s flame

Like a corpse

In soil laid

Trust and faith long since decayed

Togetherness, broken mess

Devotion sought and found in vain

Blind fatigue debased intrigue

Love was traded in for pain

A path i followed with blind eyes

Running all this way to find

The terminal of painfull truth

Where purity and innocence died

Empty mirror, soul replacer

Empty mirror, youth taker

Dying face of beauty fades

Before my eyes as you ascend

Sail away with the sun

To never feel my touch again

Free once more to raom in hell

This lonely world represents hell

Solitude shares the pain

A secret lover til the end

I have lost the will to live

Will it come to pass?

Need the strength to carry on

Must forget the past…

The empty mirror tells no lies

Reflecting a transparent face

Just nothingless is recognised

I’m stranded in a long-lost place

Empty mirror, soul replacer

Empty mirror, i’m a stranger

Here i stand?

all alone

Before a cross my concience pleads yesterday

A thorn embraced as the future slowly bleads

Awaken now, bury the past

Put to rest, no longer grieve

Chase the light, pass the gates

Leave this graveyard of lost dream
