Theocracy - Mirror of Souls (Tradução)

Theocracy - Mirror of Souls 2008 Lyrics Listen to the tale I tell A haunting dream I know so well When walking home alone one night My path revealed by candlelight Ahead I see an open door With no idea what's in store I glance inside the door to see A hall of mirrors beckons me I take a breath and step inside A tale of love and shattered pride The door slams shut, I start to run And it seems my journey has begun... I run and turn from side to side With fear and panic in my eyes The vastness overwhelming me Mirrors far as the eye can see I see myself in every one I see the things that I have done A thousand forms of flattery The fear soon turns to haughtiness in me Different mirrors, different shapes My different strengths accentuate Each mirror has a name and face And all reflect me in some way I look at them to see myself To judge my life by someone else The metaphors within replete: The mirrors are the people that I meet Look at the man you see - in the mirrors The things you can be - in the mirrors The glory of me revealed in the mirror's eye The mirror never lies The fire in my eyes - in the mirrors The vanity rise - in the mirrors The power of pride comes alive in the mirrors Gazing in the mirrors I behold All the greatest chapters of my story ever told In the mirrors The world is turned to gold At the end of the Hall of Mirrors I behold a golden door I imagine all the beauty The other side must hold in store So I quickly reach out my hand To enter the next room in this promised land I pull the giant door open wide To continue my journey, I step inside But it slams shut behind me, and I'm back outside The pouring rain welcomes me Into the arms of the coldest, blackest night The light of the mirrors has faded away Into distant memory As the rain keeps coming down My candle extinguished I struggle to walk a path I cannot see And the rain keeps coming down The darkness grows with every step I could cut it with a knife As the rain keeps coming down I can't see a thing and I've never felt So alone in all my life But the rain keeps coming down... Caught in the fury of the storm (The darkness suffocates) Body and soul weary and worn (Another twist of fate) Never been so afraid before (The ending of this tale?) Never should have opened the door (From euphoria to hell) I question my fate, my end To die in this storm Maybe this was the plan Back from the day I was born But in the hall of mirrors I had felt so high I cannot walk another mile in this flood So resigned to my fate, I just collapse in the mud If I cannot go on, I'll just lay down and die Suddenly a light I see, shining in the distance I make my way toward it with my fading hope reborn As I draw near, the light is clear Though the rain beats its resistance But I press on and pray this is a shelter from the storm Advancing now toward the light I'm quickly moving forward This hope has given me new strength I thought I'd never know But I take a step, and fall right back For the ground is gone beneath me And I behold, illuminated in the light's warm glow A dark chasm, a great abyss A vast expanse of nothingness A pit that has no bottom as far as the eye can see It spans the whole horizon, and there is no way across My lonely heart is shattered and all hope I had is lost I'm startled to feel a hand on my shoulder I turn to see a shadowed figure standing in the rain But somehow I'm not afraid of him Even when he speaks my name And somehow I can tell that he means me no harm Just by the peace that I see in his eyes And even though I've never even seen him before It's like he's known me all my life "Why are you crying?" the stranger asks As I wipe away the tears I point toward the great abyss The source of all my fears "I must get across and get to that light For it represents my only hope tonight But when I saw the chasm, all that hope was lost I've spent so long in the dark and the rain That the sight of the light made my heart sing again But the gulf's so wide, and there's no way across" The stranger smiled, and took my hand He said, "But you are wrong, my friend You cannot cross the gulf yourself, that's true" He led me down toward the edge And pointed just over the ledge And said, "Behold, I built a bridge for you" I cross the bridge toward the light The stranger saved my life tonight I turn to try to thank him, but he's gone A long way to the other side I'll make my way without my guide No time to waste, for I must carry on The bright light shines forth from behind A door beyond description Blood and scratches mark the door from ages of abuse I'm confused no more, for above the door Is a weathered, old inscription "All who would see reality, enter the Hall of Truth" And so I do As I step inside I can see another mirror A mirror so bright That my eyes must turn away A mirror so high I start to question all the others And as I stand there in the Hall of Truth My heart can only say: "Show me the truth, I don't know what to believe Não coube toda a letra
