The Mirror Waters (Alternative Version) - The Gathering

Slowly... Flying silent

Touching the wind as it sadly sings... for me.

Aging on the outside

With my youth in my empty hands

Lost all that I was living for, live no longer

Couldn't resist looking in her eyes

I saw myself, tears were falling

The seas of her eyes reflected my old age

Youth grows old, like winter follows spring

Faster... Falling kingdom

Dancers on winter winds,

they dance... for me

Nature's ways

Life can't always be controlled

Controlled by fear

Scared of months and years, fear no longer

Time leaves it's mark

The years come but never go

Masked is my face

The mask of age will fall, hide no longer

Couldn't resist looking in her eyes

I saw myself, tears were falling

The seas of her eyes reflected my old age

Youth grows old, like winter follows spring
