Part I: Disclosure

He: Looking into this mirror’s edge
I see a tainted human shape
Pale in moon’s embrace
His thoughts are standing still
Is this my home?
Is this just my home?

And while I’m gazing to the self
Moments of a trickle flows
Every certainty is broken
Pieces are not fitting
(Anymore)

While I’m breathing
(Could this be?)
I’m still shivering
(Am I?)

(And I suddenly realize that all I knew
Was just a mistake
What we thought it was real life was nothing but a mirror
Names, faces, jobs, money. Nothing is real
For nothing is life.
Now I am breathing
I am bleeding)

Part II: Darkness
(Instrumental)

Part III: Awakening

After a dim night
I’m aroused from the voices
Of children playing outside
Of a new dawn

White as the sand
The sun comes to my eyes
I need to close them off
To avoid a tough scorch

Empty and new I feel
Without duty bonds
Free and full this life
Is supposed to be

Now I know
Witch path should be mine
I will live again
I will live for real

Can you hear a man
Crying as you won’t dear?

But I can’t be once more
Relived as the wind
My soul’s too thick
To fly once again

I am mystified
Nor a child nor a grown
Alone at last I am
With nothing more than words

You can’t escape the dream
The mirror is your truth

“I am your hope and you die with me
Ich bin die Hoffnung und du stirbst mit mir”

Part IV: Vertigo
(Instrumental)
