[Intro]
Em Am Em Am
Em
Far, far beyond the island
Am
We dwelt in shades of twilight
C
Through dread and weary days
G
Through grief and endless pain
[Verse]
D
It lies unknown
C
The land of mine
Em
A hidden gate
Am
To save us from the shadow fall
C
The lord of water spoke
G
In the silence
Em
Words of wisdom
Am
I've seen the end of all
G
Be aware the storm gets closer
[Chorus]
Em Am
Mirror Mirror on the wall
C
True hope lies beyond the coast
D
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Em Am
Mirror Mirror on the wall
C
True hope lies beyond the coast
D
You're a damned kind can't you see
Am Em
That tomorrows bears insanity
[Verse]
Em
Gone's the wisdom
Am
Of a thousand years
Em Am
A world in fire and chains and fear
Em Am
Leads me to a place so far
Em
Deep down it lies my secret vision
Am
I better keep it safe
[Verse]
Em
Shall I leave my friends alone
Am
Hidden in my twilight hall
Em
(I) know the world is lost in fire
Am
Sure there is no way to turn it
Em
Back to the old days
Am
Of bliss and cheerful laughter
Em
We're lost in barren lands
Am
Caught in the running flames
Em
Alone
How shall we leave the lost road
Am
Time's getting short so follow me
Em
A leader's task so clearly
Am
To find a path out of the dark
[Chorus]
Em Am
Mirror Mirror on the wall
C
True hope lies beyond the coast
D
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Em Am
Mirror Mirror on the wall
C
True hope lies beyond the coast
D
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
[Soo]
Em G D C
[Verse]
Em
Even though
Am
The storm calmed down
G
The bitter end
Am D
Is just a matter of time
C Am
Shall we dare the dragon
Em G
Merciless he's poisoning our hearts
D
Our hearts
How shall we leave the lost road
Am
Time's getting short so follow me
Em
A leader's task so clearly
Am
To find a path out of the dark
[Chorus]
Em Am
Mirror Mirror on the wall

True hope lies beyond the coast

You're a damned kind can't you see
