WOODS OF YPRES - Mirror Reflection & The Hammer Reinvention lyrics
rate me[Part One: The Mirror Reflection]<br />
<br />
I was right along, and I was wrong to believe, <br />
Foolish to doubt the self-respecting truths, I learned while suffering.<br />
Nothing happens for any reason, There is no plan.<br />
We are all just random beings, not destined for anything.<br />
The world is nothing, disguised as something it is not.<br />
Aspire to be something, appearing as you really are.<br />
<br />
Cut yourself down to the stern. Stand upon level ground again.<br />
Tear yourself all the way down and rebuild yourself in solitude.<br />
<br />
When left alone, the forests renew themselves.<br />
When left alone, man improves himself, as well.<br />
<br />
[Part Two: The Hammer Reinvention]<br />
<br />
You need, for self-reflection, is a reflection of you, and a sign of the times.<br />
You use of self-expression, is a weapon in the age in which we live.<br />
When you hold the hammer, you are the weapon, <br />
Smash the mirror for seven years of self-sacrifice.<br />
When you hold the mirror, you're in reflection, <br />
Reflect the truth and not the curse of superstition.<br />
<br />
I thought you were taking pictures of me, <br />
But that was just the lights burning out! <br />
It's no one's dream to follow me, <br />
When everyone wants to be followed themselves.<br />
<br />
Your self-expression is a reflection of the mind.<br />
Use it to make your peace with yourself, <br />
Those around you and the age in which you live.<br />
Make peace with the age in which you find yourself.<br />
<br />
Your self-expression is a weapon of the mind.<br />
Use it to defend yourself, threaten others and enhance your life.
