The Looking Glass

Avantasia

Drawn by the sound 
Of that wild raving pound 
No one has told me 
I gotta know 
All about hell and below 
They never told me 

The quest for nexus 
In your life 
And for all that's beyond... 

When I gaze at the man 
Who is gazing at me 
When I stare into the looking glass 
When I ask what he sees 

Then I'm asking for more 
And the more that I wanna know 
I know what I'll never know 

From far away 
From the state of decay 
You've come to wisdom 
Many've been led 
Into madness instead 
Toll of my kingdom 

The quest for nexus 
Has brought many 
Man of genius to insanity... 

When I gaze at the man 
Who is gazing at me 
When I stare into the looking glass 
When I ask what he sees 

Then you're asking for more 
And the more that you wanna know 
You know what you'll never know 

As long as you long for the whole 
You can't get a part of at all 
How proud would the buildings of Rome 
Look without all single stones 

When I gaze at the man 
Who is gazing at me 
When I stare into the looking glass 
When I ask what he sees 

Then I'm asking for more 
And the more that I wanna know 
I know what I'll never know 

When I gaze at the man 
Who is gazing at me 
When I stare into the looking glass 
When I ask what he sees 

Then I'm asking for more 
And the more that I wanna know 
I know what I'll never know 

When I gaze at the man 
Who is gazing at me 
When I stare into the looking glass 
When I ask what he sees 

Then I'm asking for more 
And the more that I wanna know 
I know what I'll never know 

When I gaze at the man 
Who is gazing at me 
When I stare into the looking glass 
When I ask what he sees 

Then I'm asking for more 
And the more that I wanna know 
I know what I'll never know
