Mirror of Illusion lyrics
by Hawkwind
[Verse 1]
In the cold grey mask of morning, I cry out
But no-one feels the sound that I shout
And you don't hear me through the tears you've shed
And the dream-world that you've found
Will one day drag you down
The mirror of illusion reflects the smile
[Verse 2]
The world from your back door seems so wide
The house, so tiny it is from inside
A box that you're still living in
I cannot see for why
You think you've found perception's doors
They open to a lie
[Instrumental Break 1:53 – 3:18]
[Guitar Solo: Huw Lloyd-Langton]
[Verse 1]
In the cold grey mask of morning, I cry out
But no-one feels the sound that I shout
And you don't see me through the tears you've shed
And the dream-world that you've found
Will one day drag you down
The mirror of illusion reflects the smile
[Verse 2]
The world from your back door seems so wide
The house, so tiny it is from inside
A box that you're still living in
I cannot see for why
You think you've found perception's doors
They open to a lie
[Instrumental Outro 4:32 – 7:08]
