On the other side of the looking glass
With her lantern shining bright
She reflects her image sweetly
This fairy, and her light
Her eyes asparkle, mesmerizing
She has you in her hold
Her beauty more beguiling than
The mirror made of gold
She’ll taunt you to come closer
Her smile is her disguise
Once she’s got you hypnotized
Her reflection is your demise

Memories, still buried deep
Haunt you in your restless sleep
Tucked away inside your heart
This we knew right from the start
Our lives would never be as one
Betrothed to yet another’s son
I couldn’t hide, he saw my face
Into the dungeon, the only place
He knew to leave me, there to die
Then tell his tales, lie after lie
Of how I broke his heart in two
Because my love was never true
Now buried in the castle keep
I lie here in eternal sleep
And call to you, my only love
Can you hear me from above?
Will you come to stay with me?
Yes! Fulfill our destiny!
Where thorns replace the reddest rose
There, we shall lie, in sweet repose

Mist lies quietly over starless skies
Swaddling the land in a cool damp air
Droplets filled with passing rain
Enveloped in fog that roams without care
Darkness ahead through shrouded passage
Shadows engulfing the light
Ethereal movements that send you astray
Across clouds enraptured by night
A brilliant sun awakens the dawn
And dissipates the lingering mist
Scattered softly on blades of grass
The quintessence of morning’s kiss

She waits, among the evening mist
In the forest, a familiar place
Where she can sit in quiet thought
Longing for his sweet embrace
Each passing night grows longer
Still, she waits as time goes by
Silently, she’ll contemplate
Never knowing the reason why
Each time, he says ‘tomorrow’
He’ll return, a recurrent theme
And she’ll come back here, once again
Beguiled, by her fanciful dream
