"Mirror Of Woe"
I see a mirror strangely appear
Upon touching it I disappear
I'm trapped behind the looking glass
Screaming as the body parts pass
Is this some form of magic
Who could be this tragic
How long am I going to stay
I don't want to end up that way
In the corner of my eye
I see a man floating by
As he comes ever so near
I can sense impending fear
He holds my hand, the mirror shakes
We softly kiss, the mirror breaks
I look around and everything's gone
Though in the reflection, I'm the only one
Maybe it was all in my mind
Though an eerie feeling is left behind
