[Verse 1] In mirrored halls They crown themselves Reflections raised Above all else Glass-eyed kings On silver thrones Speaking loud But saying none Ancient books Collecting dust Truth grows weak When lost to rust Every child Learns vanity Before they're taught What they could be [Chorus] The city of mirrors Knows your face But not your name Not your place The city of mirrors Shines so bright Everybody's famous In their own eyes [Verse 2] The scholars sleep The jesters teach Every answer Just out of reach Golden masks And silver tongues Selling dreams To the young Every tower Scrapes the sky Built on praise And fragile lies Nobody asks If they are wrong Only how To sing along [Chorus] The city of mirrors Knows your face But not your name Not your place The city of mirrors Shines so bright Everybody's famous In their own eyes [Guitar Solo] [Breakdown / Bridge] No evil spell No tyrant king We forged the chains We wear within [Final Chorus] The city of mirrors Knows your face But not your name Not your place The city of mirrors Shines so bright Everybody's famous In their own eyes The city of mirrors Knows your face But not your name Not your place The city of mirrors Shines so bright Everybody's famous In their own eyes
