Mirror of Dreams Songtext

von Ayreon

I feel his shadow looming over me
Leaving me defeated and confused
His eyes still haunt me, if only I'd done more
Maybe I gave up on him too soon

I share your sorrow, but we are not to blame
His heart has always been a mystery

We'll never fathom, we'll never understand
Did he ever need us, were we real
Or mere reflections in a mirror of dreams?

What holds his future, how will he survive?
Without us to save him from himself
Where has he run to, will he return?
I hope he knows I wish him well

It's up to him now, there's nothing we can do
I fear we cannot give him what he needs

Are we but phantoms inside his tangled mind?
Will he ever need us, are we real
Ore mere reflections in a mirror of dreams?
