Mark R Slaughter - Tearful Eyes lyrics

The mirror laughed; it gleaned my thoughts And saw me cry my want: Synthetic views - pathetic clues To how I tick - and now you taunt You bleeding mirror, jibe another! Just because I dream… To be the mighty hero wise! And perch atop the sodden hill Of blood and pungent d**h To lead our race from sure demise Let's regain, collect, and rest Before the battle slams Our dauntless nerve. And now to rise! Come follow me - we'll slay the foe! See my cloak unfurl Through screams and wails, he fails and dies Look! he falls across his minions' Path. I laugh aloud My warriors hold me to the skies Overhead the clouds recede Thinning out the black And then I fade in pallid lies Returning back to conscious state I let the mirror slate me: Fathoming my remote disguise Reflecting back my hopeless lot Oh to smash the thing! If I could see through tearful eyes
