Reflections Lyrics

Last night I had a dream
Through a swirling fog I walked alone
On the edge of a stream
I heard somebody groan
I stopped
I looked into a pool
And saw the reflection of a fool
I saw the reflection of a fool

Dragging him by his throat
With a collar and the links of a chain
On his shoulders a coat
On his feet shoes of pain
The coat was strife
The chain was pride
I saw the reflection and I cried
I saw the reflection and I cried

Tears for myself the fool
A man chained by independence
Gripped by despair so cruel
My life was a lot of nonsense
My eyes were closed
But in my mind
I saw the reflection so unkind
I saw the reflection so unkind

Sick of life
Scared of death
My days just one long futility
Feeling my emptiness
I cried "God set me free"

I looked once more
I don′t know how
But I saw the reflection changing now
I saw the reflection changing now
A man was in my place
A man with holes in his hands and side
A man I could not face
The man I had crucified
On him was my coat
My chains and my shoes

And between reflections
I must choose
Between reflections
I must choose
Between reflections
I must choose
Between reflections
I must choose
