LYRICS
Last night I had a dream, Through a swirling fog I walked along on the edge of a stream, I heard somebody groan, I stopped, looked into a pool, And I saw the reflection of a fool I saw the reflection of a fool. Dragging him by his throat Were the collar and the links of a chain, On his shoulders a coat, On his feet shoes of pain, The coat was strife, The chain was pride, I saw the reflection, and I cried I saw the reflection, and I cried Tears for myself a fool, A man chained by independence, Gripped by despair so cruel, My life was a lot of nonsense, My eyes were closed, but in my mind, I saw the reflection so unkind, I saw the reflection so unkind Sick of life - scared of death My days just one long futility, Feeling my emptiness, I cried "God set me free", I looked once more - I don't know how, But I saw the reflection changing now, I saw the reflection changing now A man was in my place A man with holes in his hands and side, A man I could not face, The man I had crucified, On him was my coat, My chains and my shoes, And between reflections I must choose, Between reflections I must choose, Repeat twice..
