[00:23.00]\r
[00:25.35]I. The House of Mirrors\r
[00:30.35]\r
[00:31.35]Listen to the tale I tell\r
[00:35.42]a haunting dream I know so well\r
[00:39.50]When walking home alone one night\r
[00:43.29]my path revealed by candlelight\r
[00:47.23]Ahead I see an open door\r
[00:51.24]with no idea whats in store\r
[00:55.21]I glance inside the door to see\r
[00:59.21]a hall of mirrors beckon me\r
[01:03.38]I take a breath and step inside\r
[01:07.22]a tale of love and shattered pride\r
[01:11.22]The door slams shut, I start to run\r
[01:15.21]And it seems my journey has begun...\r
[01:24.34]\r
[02:29.50]I run and turn from side to side\r
[02:32.62]with fear and panic in my eyes\r
[02:36.23]The vastness overwhelming me\r
[02:39.52]mirrors far as the eye can see\r
[02:42.63]I see myself in every one\r
[02:45.91]I see the things that I have done\r
[02:49.22]A thousand forms of flattery\r
[02:52.57]the fear soon turns to haughtiness in me\r
[02:58.51]\r
[03:08.61]Different mirrors, different shapes\r
[03:11.62]my different strengths accentuate\r
[03:14.55]Each mirror has a name and face\r
[03:18.13]and all reflect me in some way\r
[03:21.58]I look at them to see myself\r
[03:24.53]to judge my life by someone else\r
[03:28.03]The metaphors within replete:\r
[03:31.21]the mirrors are the people that I meet\r
[03:37.01]\r
[03:47.12]Look at the man you see (in the mirrors)\r
[03:50.90]The things you can be (in the mirrors)\r
[03:54.51]The glory of me revealed in the mirrors eye\r
[03:59.29]The mirror never lies\r
[04:01.05]The fire in my eyes (in the mirrors)\r
[04:04.25]The ity rise (in the mirrors)\r
[04:07.51]The power of pride comes alive in the mirrors\r
[04:10.05]\r
[04:10.81]Gazing in the mirrors I behold\r
[04:16.67]All the greatest chapters of my story ever told\r
[04:23.02]In the mirrors\r
[04:24.71]The world is turned to gold\r
[04:34.43]\r
[05:43.54]At the end of the Hall of Mirrors\r
[05:51.10]I behold a golden door\r
[05:55.52]I imagine all the beauty\r
[06:00.34]the other side must hold in store\r
[06:07.08]\r
[06:07.96]So I quickly reach out my hand\r
[06:10.75]To enter the next room in this promised land\r
[06:13.77]I pull the giant door open\r
[06:16.33]To continue my journey, I step inside\r
[06:19.55]But it slams shut behind me, and Im back outside\r
[06:30.55]The pouring rain welcomes me\r
[06:37.62]into the arms of the coldest, blackest night\r
[06:49.69]\r
[07:10.00]II. The Stranger in the Storm\r
[07:16.66]\r
[07:18.64]The light of the mirrors has faded away\r
[07:22.04]into distant memory\r
[07:24.98]As the rain keeps coming down\r
[07:30.54]My candle extinguished\r
[07:32.55]I struggle to walk a path I cannot see\r
[07:36.90]And the rain keeps coming down\r
[07:43.60]\r
[07:54.58]The darkness grows with every step\r
[07:57.99]I could cut it with a knife\r
[08:00.91]As the rain keeps coming down\r
[08:06.76]I cant see a thing, Ive never felt\r
[08:09.94]so alone in all my life\r
[08:12.93]But the rain keeps coming down...\r
[08:18.80]\r
[08:19.81]Caught in the fury of the storm\r
[08:22.87](The darkness suffocates)\r
[08:25.36]Body and soul weary and worn\r
[08:28.48](Another twist of fate)\r
[08:31.28]Never been so afraid before\r
[08:33.90](The ending of this tale?)\r
[08:37.33]Never should have opened the door\r
[08:40.18](From euphoria to hell)\r
[08:42.39]\r
[08:43.19]I question my fate, my end to die in this storm?\r
[08:48.01]Maybe this was the plan back from the day I was born\r
[08:53.52]But in the hall of mirrors I had felt so high\r
[09:05.25]I cannot walk another mile in this flood\r
[09:10.62]So resigned to my fate, I just collapse in the mud\r
[09:16.00]If I cannot go on, Ill just lay down and die\r
[09:27.49]\r
[09:28.51]Suddenly a light I see, shining in the distance\r
[09:33.62]I make my way toward it with my fading hope reborn\r
[09:38.36]As I draw near, the light is clear\r
[09:41.35]Though the rain beats its resistance\r
[09:43.64]But I press on and pray this is a shelter from the storm\r
[09:48.64]Adcing now toward the light (Moving forward)\r
[09:50.79]Im quickly moving forward (Marching forward)\r
[09:53.53]This hope has given me new strength (Moving forward)\r
[09:55.93]I thought Id never know (To the light)\r
[09:58.52]But I take a step, and fall right back (Moving forward)\r
[10:01.15]For the ground is gone beneath me (Marching forward)\r
[10:03.61]And I behold, illuminated (Moving forward)\r
[10:06.16]in the lights warm glow (To the light)\r
[10:08.58]A dark chasm, a great abyss\r
[10:11.21]a vast expanse of nothingness\r
[10:13.62]a pit that has no bottom as far as the eye can see\r
[10:18.51]It spans the whole horizon, and there is no way across\r
[10:23.51]My lonely heart is shattered and all hope I had is lost\r
[10:29.87]\r
[10:31.13]Im startled to feel a hand on my shoulder\r
[10:35.99]I turn to see a shadowed figure standing in the rain\r
[10:41.06]but somehow Im not afraid of Him\r
[10:44.54]even when He speaks my name\r
[10:50.32]\r
[11:00.51]And somehow I can tell that He means me no harm\r
[11:05.81]just by the peace that I see in His eyes\r
[11:10.94]And even though Ive never even seen Him before\r
[11:15.90]its like Hes known me all my life\r
[11:21.32]\"Why are you crying?\" the stranger asks\r
[11:26.51]as I wipe away the tears\r
[11:31.44]I point toward the great abyss\r
[11:36.52]the source of all my fears\r
[11:40.73]\r
[11:41.74]\"I must get across and get to that light\r
[11:46.81]for it represents my only hope tonight\r
[11:51.65]but when I saw the chasm, all that hope was lost\r
[12:01.66]Ive spent so long in the dark and the rain\r
[12:06.65]that the sight of the light made my heart sing again\r
[12:11.95]but the gulfs so wide, and theres no way across\"\r
[12:21.40]\r
[12:22.33]The stranger smiled, and took my hand\r
[12:26.90]He said, \"But you are wrong, my friend\r
[12:31.23]You cannot cross the gulf yourself, thats true\"\r
[12:39.73]He led me down toward the edge\r
[12:44.51]and pointed just over the ledge\r
[12:48.93]and said, \"Behold, I built a bridge for you\"\r
[12:58.18]\r
[13:33.24]I cross the bridge toward the light\r
[13:38.03]The stranger saved my life tonight\r
[13:42.67]I turn to try to thank Him, but Hes gone\r
[13:51.18]A long way to the other side\r
[13:55.91]Ill make my way without my guide\r
[14:00.30]No time to waste, for I must carry on\r
[14:07.58]\r
[14:08.60]The bright light shines forth from behind\r
[14:12.51]A door beyond description\r
[14:15.04]Blood and scratches mark the door from ages of abuse\r
[14:20.31]Im confused no more, for above the door\r
[14:22.96]Is a weathered, old inscription:\r
[14:25.82]\"All who would see reality, enter the Hall of Truth\"\r
[14:31.09]And so I do\r
[14:34.41]\r
[15:23.98]III. The Truth Revealed\r
[15:33.27]\r
[15:35.53]As I step inside\r
[15:38.94]I can see another mirror\r
[15:41.83]A mirror so bright\r
[15:44.79]that my eyes must turn away\r
[15:47.40]A mirror so high\r
[15:50.10]I start to question all the others\r
[15:52.73]And as I stand there in the Hall of Truth\r
[15:56.13]my heart can only say:\r
[15:59.04]\"Show me the truth, I dont know what to believe\r
[16:01.71]for the mirrors all showed something different to me\r
[16:04.90]and my pride has given way to misery\r
[16:10.51]Ive spent so long in the dark and the rain\r
[16:13.21]that the sight of the light made my heart sing again\r
[16:15.92]and the stranger built a bridge across for me\"\r
[16:21.05]\r
[16:21.93]\"BEHOLD THYSELF\" a voice rings out\r
[16:24.34]in paralyzing thunder\r
[16:27.32]It echoes all throughout the hall\r
[16:30.06]and sends me to my knees\r
[16:33.01]When the voice calls my name\r
[16:34.66]Im overcome with fear and wonder\r
[16:38.59]As I slowly start to rise\r
[16:40.89]and face the great mirror in front of me\r
[16:43.95]When I open my eyes, I have to close them again\r
[16:49.47]but still the image is burned in my mind...\r
[16:55.07]A face with eyes as black as night\r
[16:59.80]A terrifying sight\r
[17:02.62]The flesh rotting away in sickness and decay\r
[17:07.92]Its mangled by disease\r
[17:10.96]Im unable to breathe\r
[17:13.46]Tell me what manner of creature this could be\r
[17:17.51]Cause its not me\r
[17:18.26]\r
[17:18.95]I run away as fast as my feet will carry me\r
[17:23.79]back to the door leading out into the night\r
[17:29.56]Even the storm that almost claimed my life\r
[17:33.06]was better than this\r
[17:34.70]And so I throw open the door and see a man\r
[17:38.96](The figure of a man)\r
[17:41.06]The stranger from the storm returns again\r
[17:43.81](To save me once again?)\r
[17:46.60]I see understanding in his eyes\r
[17:49.46](Hes seen this all before)\r
[17:52.21]Maybe He can tell me what I saw behind that door\r
[17:57.85]\r
[17:58.62]\"Tell me what I saw in the mirror before I ran away\r
[18:03.80]Tell me what I saw in the mirror\r
[18:06.09]that face of sickness and decay\r
[18:09.26]Tell me what I saw in the mirror that left me terrorized\r
[18:15.11]Tell me what I saw in the mirror\r
[18:17.32]with the lifeless, blackened eyes?\r
[18:20.01]Was it a demon from the fiery waves?\r
[18:23.20]Was it the undead from beyond the grave?\r
[18:25.83]Oh the face that I beheld in the mirror left me paralyzed\r
[18:30.81]Wont you tell me what I saw in the mirror on this night?\"\r
[18:36.23]\r
[18:37.10]\"The light from the mirror you saw from afar\r
[18:42.57]The Mirror of Souls shows all men as they are\r
[18:48.40]You entered the hall and you asked for the truth\r
[18:53.55]The man that you saw in the mirror was you\"\r
[18:59.03]\r
[18:59.96]\"No! Dont show me the truth cause I dont want to believe\r
[19:02.81]What the Mirror of Souls has revealed unto me\r
[19:05.69]And the face I saw reflected cannot be me\r
[19:10.74]Dying and lost in the arms of decay\r
[19:13.87]I do not recognize the face Ive seen today\r
[19:16.74]And if you say thats my face I must disagree\"\r
[19:21.52]\r
[19:22.56]The meaning of these things I saw:\r
[19:25.55]The mirror is the holy eyes of God\r
[19:29.94]\r
[19:32.52]The truth unveiled before me\r
[19:36.21]with these words of the stranger:\r
[19:39.48]\"The mirrors you saw in the hall long ago\r
[19:44.81]Were mirrors of lies, not reflecting the soul\r
[19:50.51]When you look unto others to see what they see\r
[19:56.02]You see an illusion, deception, false reality\"\r
[20:05.85]\r
[20:07.60]I have seen my soul in the mirror and it has broken me\r
[20:15.03]I have seen myself so much clearer than I had ever seen\r
[20:21.78]\"Cant you take away all this sickness from my soul and set me free?\r
[20:32.15]You can save me...I believe\"\r
[20:39.03]\r
[20:40.50]And then He said, \"Arise, my child\r
[20:44.51]your faith has made you reconciled\r
[20:48.12]Now gaze into the Mirror once again\"\r
[20:55.27]We walked together through the door\r
[20:59.29]and I looked in the glass once more\r
[21:02.81]but the only one reflected back was Him\r
[21:09.59]Somehow the only one the mirror saw was Him\r
[21:18.13]\r
[21:21.51]Gazing in the Mirror of my Soul\r
[21:28.71]Staring at the man who took my place and made me whole\r
[21:36.36]In the Mirror, the Mirror of my Soul\r
