Dream of Mirrors lyrics
by Bruce Dickinson
[Intro]
Have you ever felt
The future is the past
But you don't know how...?
A reflected dream
Of a captured time
Is it really now?
Is it really happening?
[Verse 1]
Don't know why I feel this way
Have I dreamt this time, this place?
Something vivid comes again into my mind
And I think I've seen your face
Seen this room, been in this place
Something vivid comes again into my mind
[Pre-Chorus 1]
All my hopes and expectation
Looking for an explanation
Have I found my destination?
I just can't take no more
[Refrain]
The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true
[Verse 2]
Think I've heard your voice before
Think I've said these words before
Something makes me feel I just might lose my mind
Am I still inside my dream?
Is this a new reality?
Something makes me feel that I have lost my mind
[Pre-Chorus 2]
All my hopes and expectation
Looking for an explanation
Coming to the realisation
That I can't see for sure
[Chorus]
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
Please save me from myself
[Refrain]
The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true
[Verse 3]
I get up, put on the light
Dreading the oncoming night
Scared to fall asleep and dream the dream again
Nothing that I contemplate
Nothing that I can compare
To letting loose the demons deep inside my head
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Dread to think what might be stirring
That my dream is reoccurring
Got to keep away from drifting
Saving me from myself
[Chorus]
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
[Bridge]
Lost in a dream of mirrors
Lost in a paradox
Lost and time is spinning
Lost, a nightmare I retrace
Lost, a hell that I revisit
Lost, another time and place
Lost, a parallel existence
Lost, a nightmare I retrace
[Chorus]
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
Ooooh, oooo, oooooh
Ooooh, oooo, oooooh
[Solo: Janick Gers]
[Chorus]
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
[Outro]
The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true
