Duncan Sheik A Mirror In The Heart Lyrics

A Mirror In The Heart Lyrics

There is a swan-white curtain,

Somewhere within the sky.

It's known of
every sermon,

Every anguished cry -

The howls of hopeless
people,

Frightened and alone.



There is a spotless silver
mirror

That hangs within the moon.

It's witness every winter,

The
cities charred and ruined -

The herds of homeless people

Filling all
the roads...



Some may pray to their mirrors,

Some may kneel before
the sun.

Me, I say there's a mirro

In the heart of
everyone.



Bullets paint the blue distance.

The mirror's stained
from every gun.

Still, I say that it glistens

In the heart of
everyone.



And there are golden whispers

Within the
afternoon.

They've held the brothers, sister...

Felt the mothers'
wounds.

The broken-hearted people,

Burying thei own...



Some
may pray to their mirrors,

Some may kneel before the sun.

Me, I say
there's a mirro

In the heart of everyone.



Strike the bell, and we
listen.

Light the candle, and we're shown.

The gods themselves throwing
incense,

As all the world begins to glow...



Such a flame, such a
mirror,

In the heart of everyone.



Such a flame, such a
mirror,

In the heart of everyone...
