Mirror Mirror - Blind Guardian

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

It 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 (1):
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 tomorrows bears insanity

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

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 (2):
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 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

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 (2)



And now a couple a bit more obscure, I think;


Burning Hills - Danse Macabre

Did you know which way we went?
Fast ways and many burning hills

I cannot tell you which way we went

That's where I've lost you
Realize it now

But I do know that we went astray

The tie around our fingers is torn apart

One glimpse enough to comprehend all
But frost conquered our hearts
There remains this wall

We knew each other, by the look in our eyes
Didn't dare to say, too frightened to give too much

Did you know which way we went?
Fast ways and many burning hills

I cannot tell you which way we went

That's where I've lost you
Realize it now

But I do know that we went astray

This will be the moment for a new start

We knew each other, by the look in our eyes
Didn't dare to say, too frightened to give too much

Why should you close your eyes?
If there is nothing to look for
Our slippery hands didn't hold
And we've got colder

Deep inside the little child cries
Feeling the old ache, remembering for God's sake
Don't let the tears cry slow
It is healing and trying to grow
The flame on every flower
The wound of every injury
Has been healed now

Did you know which way we went?
Fast ways and many burning hills
That's where I've lost you
Realize it now
The tie around our fingers is torn apart
Your soul around my body did dispart
Our slippery hands didn't hold
And we've got colder

Your mind slowly fades away
Moving further away
The flame on every flower
The wound of every injury
Has been healed now



Rodeo - Pretty Maids

I was born and raised on the street
I grew up in a jungle of stone
I felt the madness of people
But I fought my way up alone

Cause I saw the new horizons
The future and the flame
I walked my own directions
For fortune and fame

Don't leave it behind
Go for it and maybe you'll find
Cause something is waiting for you
Just keep on believing
And make it through

Life is a rodeo
Somebody makes it
Somebody don't
And even though
You feel like loosing
Don't ever let it go

And sometimes when I came to a crossroad
Should I stick to the left or the right
When there was more than just one way to go
Then I chose to head for the light

I found myself on the outside
And I faced the chance to get in
Now I left the moments of twilight
Prepared to win

[Chorus]
