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
