Hyborian Steel

Behind The Mirror

Hyborian Steel


Far away, far beyond valusia's line
People say lives a wizard old as time
What is true, what is false he only knows
For he's watched in his mirrors long ago

Crystal visions gleam from beyond the screen
Watch yourself fly free, reality or dream?
This is more, so much more than glass and frame
But a gate to the countless worlds and planes
As they reflect each other the stillness breaks at once
The interstellar silence burns with the flame of stars

Crystal visions gleam from beyond the screen
Watch yourself fly free, reality or dream are one
Behind the mirror
Behind the mirror, the mirror, thuzun thune's mirror!

"For there are worlds beyond worlds, as kull knows, and
Whether the wizards deceived him, by words of by
Mesmerism, things unfolded to the king's gaze, beyond that
Strange door, and kull became less sure of reality since he
Looked into the mirrors of thuzun thune..."
(R. E. Howard, "the mirrors of thuzun thune")

My eyes have looked beyond my soul
But nightmares frighten me no more
For every mystery of life the answer lies behind the mirror
Behind the mirror, you should not look behind
Never look behind the mirror, you'll lose your soul!
