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.
