He was browsing around in the magical store

when he caught the reflection in a surface of black

A mirror for sale, had belonged to a witch

As soon as he saw it, he felt like possessed

“I beheld the jet black, polished mirror and it’s mysteriously carved, heavy ebony framework It was like something made in another world, another time I couldn’t take my eyes off it, even if I would”

Having bought it he learned from reading some tales

(That) by the right incantation it would serve as a gate

A promise of freedom in places unknown

He would leave all his problems and never grow old

“Sure I want to escape – who won’t? Life’s so damn dull here on this planet Earth Wanna leave everything behind? – You bet What do I care? No one’s gonna miss me anyway”

(Guitar-solo)

Words read aloud caused the mirror to smoke

He could see through its darkness – he could get through

So sure he could choose between heaven and hell

He entered the mirror, to where – who can tell…

“Be careful what you wish or dream There’s always a catch, something overlooked, unforeseen And burning bridges is a foolish thing to do Maybe you want to return after all… but then you can’t… you’re stuck!”
