Lyrics: Mirror, mirror upon the wall Magic demon eye A realm of madness Awakened by the call Speak the ancient words of mages Try to take control The essence of evil, A challenge for your soul The battle of minds The riddle the rhymes Beware of the darkness behind Usurped and enslaved Redeemed and betrayed The devil in the mirror, obey! Iridescent pulsation light Glowing in its heart The surface is reflecting Nightmares of your mind Green mist swirling deep within A dark dimension takes from The grip of clawed hands drags you inside The battle of minds The riddle the rhymes Beware of the darkness behind Usurped and enslaved Redeemed and betrayed The devil in the mirror, obey! Enchanted with powers to conquer your soul Good or evil it won’t mind The mirror of darkness is blind Feel the presence, the voice of the dark Break the balance, intrudes your mind Try to deny, oh master of fools Captured forever, the loser learns the rules
