Summoning the Lich - Predatory Reflection Lyrics

I am all that I see
Trapped in reflections past, condemned for my vanity
In the mirror I gazed adrift in the haze obsession that borders insanity
To cast all aside, such arrogant pride,
now suffering! Trapped within the divide
In reflections of hell I reside

Once all admired my exquisite form
For years the ego swelled and thus arrogance was born
With tongue of flame and my nose to the sky I never noticed that the gypsy had me fixed in her eyes

What do you offer to this world aside from empty beauty? she sighed
"Weathered hag open your eyes and gaze upon perfection defined"

To worship yourself will lead to your end
All eminence dies as you rot within

I am all that I see
Trapped in reflections past, condemned for my vanity
In the mirror I gazed adrift in the haze obsession that borders insanity
To cast all aside, such arrogant pride,
now suffering! Trapped within the divide
In reflections of hell I reside

As I retorted her wares caught my eye
A mirror now glowing as if to reply
I stare at my reflection growing ever brighter
And cast all around me aside
I knew not of the blackness within
Nor did i see her Cheshire grin
Ever drawing me in, ever drawing me in

Beauty rots from within

Casting a curse to the sky
I remove the skin I have come to despise
I take in one last look and claw out my eyes




I am all that I see
Trapped in reflections past, condemned for my vanity
In the mirror I gazed adrift in the haze obsession that borders insanity
To cast all aside, such arrogant pride,
now suffering! Trapped within the divide
In reflections of hell I reside




To worship yourself will lead to your end
All eminence dies as you rot within
