As day bleeds into night
The abject horologe
Hands upon the cooling glass
Born of a lost cause
From the never-ending
Mirror-maze confined
Every downward step
Reveals a grand design
Our gracious captors
Adverse benefactors
Histories of failed escapes
Traced in every fracture
At every turn
Another useless map to be burned
♪
Our gracious captors
Adverse benefactors
A storm of shards
The mirror shatters
Lost inside a twisted game
In service of our masters
Architects of pain
♪
Hour by hour
Inimical force
We feel the sting, but know not the source
♪
There's no escape
Nowhere to hide
A cruel simulation of being alive
♪
There's no escape
Nowhere to hide
Reliving this cycle night after night
And now we stand
And count the cost
Pawns in a game, forever lost
