1000 Mirrors Lyrics

Album: Enemy Of The Enemy (2003)

 

 

 A Thousand Broken Mirrors

 A scream a shout far in the distance

 Maybe the first or second floor

 Curtains colouring the windows

 Never see behind closed doors

 A silent siege behind politeness

 Domestic harmony for show

 Lost in the mirage of a marriage

 Outside a world she'll never know

 And as I see through the real you

 I'm falling Straight into

 A Thousand broken Mirrors

 I can't hide

 And outside the bright lights 

 Can't hide the pain inside

 And I've broken a thousand mirrors 

 Now it's time(x 4) 

 Loving her children with a passion

 Protecting them at any cost

 Taking the only course of action

 There's no more bridges left to cross

 Who are the ones that are the guilty?

 Who are the ones that bear the scar?

 We must not leave our sisters bleeding

 We sing this song for Tsoora Shah

 And as I see through the real you

 I'm falling Straight into

 A Thousand broken Mirrors

 I can't hide

 And outside the bright lights 

 Can't hide the pain inside

 And I've broken a thousand mirrors 

 Now it's time(x 4)
