Once upon a time, I learned so very long ago
Dreams don’t come true for every noble hero
Yeah, fairytales don’t always have a happy ending

Reunited lovers won’t always grow old
Damsel in distress, forever locked in the stronghold
And villains can’t always earn a new beginning

PRE-CHORUS:
I’m echoing out that voice inside of me
Riveting how it sounds when it’s free
I’ve gotta protest what I was raised to believe
To find out who I was meant to be

CHORUS:
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me, will I be okay?
If you show me where, I can make it there
Will I ever find my own way?
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me, can I change my fate?
Or is my destiny sealed for eternity
Locked just beyond the kingdom’s gate

Shadowlands and tempered obsidian
Sheltered ecstasy beyond midnight, postmeridian
A vision of love, carrying me far away

Pressing my face against the glass
Thinking the future is mine to behold at last
Rampant desires reflected for sorcerers to portray

(PRE-CHORUS, CHORUS)

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who is the fairest of them all?
Tell me, are they divine?
Does their heart beat like mine?
Could they help me heal the pain?
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tonight, I am breaking away
From these heavy chains
They will rue the day
I ever carried their weight

(CHORUS)

Oh, I refuse to believe
I’ll be condemned to purgatory
Waiting for a white knight to save me
