(The sun is setting now.
Sky burning red, a flame extinguished.
Light recedes, night's veil enclosing.
Slumber takes hold,
I close my eyes and drift away.)
All alone in my head,
Where I fear to tread.
Pale reflections of my life viewed within a dream.
Million faces unknown,
In the crowd I'm alone.
Don't belong here, A stranger in the mirror.
*Pre-chorus*
(Eyes deceive me) Shrouded in a haze,
(Reality) Never seemed real to me.
(Disconnect, my affect) Near realization,
(Existence in question) Can't recognize myself.
*Chorus*
Disengage from this body, trapped in a cage.
From this face I dissociate, I dissipate,
A fracture ego.
Absentee, isn't this how its meant to be?
Isn't this how its always been?
An empty scene, and me,
Watching shadows passing by.
Moving away, getting further distant,
Am I just an observer here?
Can't feel.
(Senses are clouding, Dreamlike surrounding.
No contact is to be found)
From the outside looking in.
*Chorus*
As I rise from my sleep,
feelings I still keep.
No escaping the stranger in the mirror.
*Pre-chorus*
Everything falling down.
*Chorus* x 2

It reminds me of *good* Blind Guardian, which is one of my favorite bands (up to 2002) , so that alone would be enough. However, it would sell the band short to describe them just as "a band that sounds like BG". The album has some genuinely brilliant moments and the last song on the album, the s/t one, is one of my favorite songs of the past years, absolutely fantastic. dungeonvic
