The Second Mirror___(Lyrics in description)

Описание: The Second Mirror - Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They paint the clouds in shades of gold and pearl
And promise us a better version of this world
They say the gates are heavy, wrought in silver vine
And all the water there is turned into the finest wine
But I’ve been looking at the math upon the wall
And if you build a kingdom, then the rain must surely fall
If there are streets of gold, then someone has to sweep the dust
And every iron hinge is bound to find a bit of rust
I don't find comfort in the stories that they tell
Because a second Earth is just a second kind of hell.

[Chorus]
I don't want a garden where the roses never die
I don't want a mansion in the middle of the sky
If heaven is a mirror of the struggle we’ve been through
Then it’s just another prison with a slightly better view
Don’t give me forever, don’t give me a throne
I just want the silence of the great and deep unknown.

[Verse 2]
They say we’ll sit and watch the loved ones left behind
But that’s a special cruelty for a tired human mind
To see the hunger and the wars and all the grief
And be denied the simple mercy of a final leaf
Logic says a soul needs weight to feel the light
And every morning sun requires a long and heavy night
If I have a body, then I’ll have a heart to break
And I have given all the pieces that I had to take
I don’t want a replay of the years I’ve crawled along
There is no peace in singing an eternal, weary song.

[Chorus]
I don't want a garden where the roses never die
I don't want a mansion in the middle of the sky
If heaven is a mirror of the struggle we’ve been through
Then it’s just another prison with a slightly better view
Don’t give me forever, don’t give me a throne
I just want the silence of the great and deep unknown.

I hope for nothingness, a void without a spark
A gentle dissolution in the soft and holy dark
No more desire, no more memory, no more breath
Just the absolute and honest finality of death
Why would I crave a world that looks just like this place
With the same old human longing written on a different face?

[Chorus]
I don't want a garden where the roses never die
I don't want a mansion in the middle of the sky
If heaven is a mirror of the struggle we’ve been through
Then it’s just another prison with a slightly better view
Don’t give me forever, don’t give me a throne
I just want the silence of the great and deep unknown.

[Outro]
Let the curtains close and let the stage go black
I’m leaving through the door and I am never coming back
No golden gates, no silver keys
Just the peace of nothing, if you please.
