Lyrics

Faces in this empty room
Cited in despair
Gazes that I had invoked
They're driving me insane now
Walls have eyes they're staring down on me
From everywhere around
In the face of dreams I had
Grimaces of pain
Now I am turning helpless
Callous and alone
Waiting for a storm to brew
To wash my dream and love and sins away
I'm with you
I'm the other side
You just gotta try
Fly now! No one's gonna care
Cause no one's gonna know
What no one's ever seen
Close your eyes now
Kingdom on the broken mirror
Close your eyes now
Blizzard on the broken mirror
The scent of goodbye
They're dying away, the sands of time
Sands of time
Fortune favors just the brace
That's what the blessed always say
Love will come in time
But I'm always late
I pray the wine my will to take
And those evil hands to tie
Wreaking havoc, baneful sight is growing dim
Tie the dream I've had my fill
Raze the love and tie my will
Fires ploughing up my head
Oh forgive I will forget
Lord are you hiding in the haze?
The seventh door I'll try is daze
Angel send another storm to face another dawn
Close your eyes now
Kingdom on the broken mirror
Close your eyes now
Blizzard on the broken mirror
The scent of goodbye
They're dying away, the sands of time
Close your eyes now
Kingdom on the broken mirror
Close your eyes now
Blizzard on the broken mirror
The scent of goodbye
They're dying away, the sands of time
The sands of time
They're dying away, the sands of time
