Take a look at man's mirror
can you see all the pain?
Try to find out the answers
smooth things out and explain,
there's a face in the darkness
someone's hand holds a gun,
take a look at man's mirror and run.
In the air hangs a bad scent
full of blood ridden tears,
and they gave up escaping
the thick rot of the years,
as the world turns to desert
with no water just sand,
and the people just don't understand.
Take a look at the future
feel your heart fold in shame,
there'll be no time for searching
it will all be in vain,
grey clouds block out the clean air
there will be no more sun,
take a look at man's mirror and run.
I see mist on the hillside
all our faces grow cold,
precious love is just something
that is bought and then sold,
no more reason to fight now
yet the fighting goes on,
take a look through man's mirror it's gone.
