Empty Mirror Lyrics - Cathedral

Chasing my own death through life 

A future trapped in yesterday 

When everything was fresh and bright 

Then innocence found its grave 

Empty mirror, soul replacer 

Empty mirror, youth taker 

Summer came in rays of light 

Overwhelming joy it gave 

Blinding all life's pain from sight 

Golden days could not be saved 

Empty mirror, soul replacer 

Empty mirror, youth taker 

In dark caves, wisdom reigns 

Awareness dulls ambition's flame 

Like a corpse in soil laid 

Trust and faith long since decayed 

Togetherness, broken mess 

Devotion sought and found in vain 

Blind fatigue debased intrigue 

Love was traded in for pain 

A path I followed with blind eyes 

Running all this way to find 

The terminal of painful truth 

Where purity and innocence died 

Empty mirror, soul replacer 

Empty mirror, youth taker 

Dying face of beauty fades 

Before my eyes as you ascend 

Sail away with the sun 

To never feel my touch again 

Free once more to raom in hell 

This lonely world represents hell 

Solitude shares the pain 

A secret lover till the end 

I have lost the will to live 

Will it come to pass? 

Need the strength to carry on 

Must forget the past 

The empty mirror tells no lies 

Reflecting a transparent face 

Just nothing less is recognized 

I'm stranded in a long-lost place 

Empty mirror, soul replacer 

Empty mirror, I'm a stranger 

Here I stand all alone 

Before a cross my conscience pleads 

Yesterday a thorn embraced 

As the future slowly bleeds 

Awaken now, bury the past 

Put to rest, no longer grieve 

Chase the light, pass the gates 

Leave this graveyard of lost dream
