A Mirror in the Heart lyrics
by Duncan Sheik



There is a swan-white curtain,Somewhere within the sky.It's known of every sermon,Every anguished cry -The howls of hopeless people,Frightened and alone.There is a spotless silver mirrorThat hangs within the moon.It's witness every winter,The cities charred and ruined -The herds of homeless peopleFilling all the roads...Some may pray to their mirrors,Some may kneel before the sun.Me, I say there's a mirrorIn the heart of everyone.Bullets paint the blue distance.The mirror's stained from every gun.Still, I say that it glistensIn the heart of everyone.And there are golden whispersWithin the afternoon.They've held the brothers, sister...Felt the mothers' wounds.The broken-hearted people,Burying their own...Some may pray to their mirrors,Some may kneel before the sun.Me, I say there's a mirrorIn the heart of everyone.Strike the bell, and we listen.Light the candle, and we're shown.The gods themselves throwing incense,As all the world begins to glow...Such a flame, such a mirror,In the heart of everyone.Such a flame, such a mirror,In the heart of everyone...
