Man In The Mirror - Stratovarius

Cry for the man in the mirror

See his empty eyes, where nothing lies beyond

You rape all the world for nothing

You made fire and curse the flame

You suck dry the fount of wonder

You turn sorrow into hate

A lone wolf, a walking carcass

A sore sight for putrid eyes

What doesn’t kill you makes you fouler

A dying whore by heaven’s gate

We took the bait

The big millstone slowly turning

You make mud from hidden gold

You weigh down and crush my spirit

For every step of the road

Your dead lips embrace deception

My head filled with wasted words

You kill what you can’t devour

You wanna drown me in a lake of shit filth

Cry for the man in the mirror

See his empty eyes, where nothing lies beyond

We lost the race, and then you spat right in our face

A mouth open, flies ascending

A paradise of empty souls

The black skies an empty ocean

It took the wink of an eye

From our pleasant tree of knowledge

A long shadow touches death

Lose sight of a broken promise

And in a moment nothingess descends

Cry for the man in the mirror

See his empty eyes, where nothing lies beyond
