Mirror Of Dreams - Ayreon, Cristina Scabbia

[Irish Bouzouki: Michael Mills

Low Whistle: Troy Donockley

Cello: Maaike Peterse]

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?
