[VERSE I]
Image parallaxing.
Hours distending.
Past thought and time,
wheeling overhead.
Dark days looming.
Withering life.
Through the haze
I glimpse reality.
[CHORUS I]
I see the lines on your face
drawn by apathetic time.
Accelerated by a life of regret.
Hollowed bitter husk.
Seized by truth I see
a life of emptiness.
I divine its will:
A path to my grave.
[VERSE II]
Apparition poised above.
Grasping reins to drain my life's blood.
Demon set behind lifeless eyes.
No longer human: Walking ghost.
[CHORUS II]
I see the lines etched in your face
left by apathetic time.
Accelerated by a life of sorrow.
Hollowed lifeless shell.
Your desolate eyes stalk me
beyond the glass in nightmares.
Seized by truth I see
a life of emptiness.
I divine its will:
A path to my grave.
[ENDING]
As I go beyond this sphere to oblivion,
war inside the mirror rages on in you.
Rages on in me.
