lyrics

Mirrors left behind
Phantoms sealed for all time
Delusions left on display
Beaming light across the wastes
Milky crowns of ice
Varnish the permanence of death

At the bottom of the trenches that they dug
They could not find themselves a shelter from the storm
Gasping for air and begging for an end
Discarded products stack like headstones for a mass grave

Mirrors left behind
Hollow thoughts ringing out through time
Living through the signs
Ignoring them
To the bitter end

A blue hue stirs underneath the ice
Waiting to be turned back on
Travelers unearth broken mirrors
Eager to see what’s inside
Opening the box a voice creeps out
The chorus become a swarm
Voices blasting out on all channels
The last words of humankind go

I need them to see
I need them to see me
