Mirror

There's a monster in the mirror...reflections of rage and toxic terror No it can't be...that monster's not me Surrounded by shadows of doom and defeat Slave in a Satanic sideshow...and I used to be free God,don't forget about me! There's a monster in the mirror...I detest what i see There's a mad man in the mirror...chaos and confusion now seen clearer Seeing the truth and seeing the error Like evil evolution my soul starts to stir Flying in a frenzy like a billion blind birds Wrong ways and wicked words Live by the lie soon I'll die by the sword Lost life is rotting like a corpse From darkness,Lord,I want a divorce God give me a hand cause I know you hear me There's a mad man in the mirror...I don't like what I see There's a mortal in the mirror...rescued from the flames...redeemed from the fire The light of love diminishes death Now seeing and hearing and breathing life's breath Looking right and looking left...still small seeds sprout into mighty towers and trees Giving and receiving and believing I'm free Black ravens turn into white doves Dawn of a new day...Father,Holy spirirt,and Sacrificial Son Lower than the angels and higher than the beasts Reserrected and risen...rinsed and cleaned There's a mortal in the mirror...no dirt...no demon dreams...divine is what I see
