Analysis of Faces of a Mirror
Sacred mirror, bring me light
Blue smoke demons and haunted black ravens
Wicked candles burn at night
Faces drift from ancient past
Faces fade, they may not last
Magic mirror, bring me light
The hummingbird's shadow sings in flight
Empty faces shall stand alone
Faces, they are carved in stone
Reflections between earth and moon
The light brigade of stars in tune
Looking glass, what do we know
That, faces shall always come and go
