Ashes of the Mirror lyrics

I walked through halls of polished marble Past the trophies of my years Every victory still standing Like monuments to old frontiers I touched the gold I crossed the seas I learned the language of the stars Yet every road that brought me here Still left unanswered who we are Ashes of the mirror Falling through my hands All the dreams I built around me Now dissolve like desert sands Ashes of the mirror Drifting on the wind For the man who chased forever Never found where it begins I tasted every kind of wonder Every pleasure, every prize Filled my nights with fleeting fire But left no sunrise in my eyes The world once seemed a hidden treasure Waiting just beyond the hill Now the farther that I travel The farther grows the distance still The answers turned to questions The questions turned to dust And all the things I thought eternal Were never mine to trust Where is the boy who watched the sunrise? Where is the dream that lit the flame? When did the road become a circle? When did the fire become my name? I searched the sky for hidden meanings I searched the earth beneath my feet And all the while the quiet answer Was walking with me in the street Ashes of the mirror Scattered by the years And the man who knew so many things Could not escape his fears As I stared into the mirror One reflection still remained Not the king the world remembered But the child before the fame
