Life In A Mirror

A messenger from the Western front
Reports the battle was a human hunt.
We drew back,
He says and tries his best to dismount.

In a distant land the prince laid his hands upon
Many years ago, the rebellion rages on.

Your Highness, please, you have to send more troops!
Your army lies out scattered in minor groups.
We wont hold much longer
Your Highness, send more troops!

Theyve been doing their best
To protect their conquest.

It was all so long ago,
But it feels so close.
Were all going through
Another self composed
Reflection of our history.
So long ago

Advisors told him there were other ways.
We lost a thousand men in seven days,
Give them back their lands before
They turn into a blaze!

Wasting all the arms and men is inefficient,
Considering the size of the province.

But for the prince retreat was not a tack.
He knew but one way of giving back.
Gather up his forces,
And lead them to attack.

We will sacrifice anything
For the sake of the pride of our nation.

It was all so long ago,
But it feels so close.
Were all going through
Another self composed
Reflection of our history.
So long ago

We're in the mirror of the past.
We repeat every move,
Every forgotten mistake.

It was all so long ago,
But it feels so close.
Were all going through
Another self composed
Reflection of our history.
So long ago
