Lyrics Blind Guardian 1998 - Nightfall in Middle-Earth - - 9. Mirror Mirror

Far, far beyond the island
We dwelt in shades of twilight
Through dread and weary days
Through grief and endless pain

I lies unknown
The land of mine
A hidden gate
To save us from the shadow fall

The lord of water spoke
In the silence
Words of wisdom
I've seen the end of all
Be aware the storm gets closer

chorus:
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That tomorrow bears insanity

Gone is the wisdom of
Of a thousand years
A world in fire in chains and fear
Leads me to a place so far
Deep down it lies my secret vision
I'll better keep it safe

Shall I leave my friends alone
Hidden in my twilight hall
(I) know the world is lost in fire
Sure there is no way to turn it
Back to the old days
Of bliss and cheerful laughter
We're lost in barren lands
Caught in the running flames
Alone

bridge:
How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark

chorus:
Mirror Mirror...
That the winds will change
Even though
The storm calmed down
The bitter end
Is just a matter of time
Shall we dare the dragon
Merciless he's poisoning our hearts
Our hearts

bridge:
