lyrics

I pray that I would not dream of mirrors
I would keep one eye on them uneasily
I feared that they would begin
to veer off from reality

or that I would see my face
in them disfigured by strange misfortunes
the horror of spectral duplication
their eerie cosmic pantomime

mirrors of metal and the shrouded mirror
of sheer mahogany which in the twilight
of its uncertain red softens the face
that watches and in turn is watched by it

it only takes two of them facing
to build a glass labyrinth
I saw all mirrors on earth
none of them reflected me

we are our memory
that chimerical museum
of shifting shapes

the crystal spies on us
everything happens and nothing is recorded
in these rooms of the looking glass
