The Mirror Maker's Daughter

THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Father carved the silver deep
Trapping souls he'd sworn to keep
Seven mirrors in a row
Each one cursed with what they sow

I was born between the glass
Watching other faces pass
Learning early how to see
What lies beneath reality

[Pre-Chorus]
Reflection's truth is hard to bear
When you see what isn't there

[Chorus]
Look away, don't meet my gaze
I show your end of days
In my surface, time unfolds
Every secret that it holds
The mirror maker's daughter knows
How every story goes

[Verse 2]
Suitors came from far and wide
Each one wanted me as bride
Till they looked into my eyes
Saw their future's compromise

One saw madness, one saw flame
One saw no one knew his name
Each reflection told its tale
Made the bravest princes pale

[Pre-Chorus]
For I'm cursed to always show
What they never want to know

[Chorus]
Look away, don't meet my gaze
I show your end of days
In my surface, time unfolds
Every secret that it holds
The mirror maker's daughter knows
How every story goes

[Bridge]
Father's gone but left his curse
Seven mirrors, getting worse
Now I walk from frame to frame
Calling out each person's name

[Verse 3]
If you dare to look at me
Know that what you're going to see
Isn't just your face alone
But the truth you've never known

[Final Chorus]
Look away or meet my gaze
Either way, you'll count your days
In my surface, fates unfold
Every secret ever told
The mirror maker's daughter waits
Behind seven silver gates

[Outro]
Break the glass and break the spell?
Seven years know very well
That shattered mirrors multiply
The curse that makes the truthful lie
