lirik lagu bread, love and dreams - mirrors

the aporetic vision of the human tide of weakness
flaunts itself mercilessly
in the mirror of self~recognition

i’ll sing you a song of a man who lived not very far from here
he was born at the end of the second war if you’ll give or take a year
his face is known to all of you but his name i can’t divulge
so consider him a unit of the population bulge

he grew out of the settling dust when the bombs had ceased to fall
he played upon the graves and nеver realized at all
to rеsurrect a nation, people sweated and they sinned
but a limbless man on paper legs will tumble in the wind

turn around, stranger, it’s your face in the glass
get down on your knees and pick the pieces from the grass
it’s your reflection, stranger, turn around
get down on your knees and pick the pieces from the ground

in a calm uncertain stillness, we clambered through the dust
to conceive the transformation politicians promised us
they put their weapons in their mouth so to seep throughout the land
built a kingdom like an heiress with the russian book in her hand

he grew into a world where escape was held supreme
into the land of alcohol and the television dream
out from the womb of eternal peace into the stranger’s bed
to rid himself of the reason why the blood of youth was shed
turn around, stranger, it’s your face in the mirror
get down on your knees and pick the pieces from the floor
it’s your reflection, stranger, turn around
get down on your knees and pick the pieces from the ground

the ideals of our promised land were trampled to the ground
and in their place, the weeds of power and wealth were to be found
but the image of the patriot still swells the hearts of men
for the freedom to destroy ourselves, we’ll fight and fight again

but the people grew unsettled with the age of the spoon~fed mind
and the quiet revolutions came to edify the blind
they rebelled into conformity in a modified disguise
and now he walks the path of a man he once himself despised

he searches through the city streets for a face he used to know
he listens through the traffic for a voice from long ago
he’s passed the face so many times and did not recognize
the vision of his loneliness reflected in his eye

turn around, stranger, it’s your face in the mirror
get down on your knees and pick the pieces from the floor
it’s your reflection, stranger, turn around
get down on your knees and pick the pieces from the ground
