Through the Looking Glass, Part I, II & III Songtext
von Symphony X

Look to the other side, reach the undefined
Curious to what she doesn′t know
Step through the empty air, reveal what wasn't there
A fantasy, her looking glass world

Is it as it seems or just a dream within a dream?
Dream within, dream within a dream

Like she′s been here before, locked behind the door
Held within the grasp of mystic hands
Everything's so strange, the same but rearranged
Through a bird's eye view, can it all be true?

The final answer she seeks
Double aye, to be crowned Queen
Essence of rule divides the land, yeah

Dark shape, above in the sky
Catches her prismic eye
Again she walks in wonder
With no, with no tearful goodbye


(Alice, Alice, run Alice, run)
And there she stood, in mistery
Searching for the final ring within
A dream within a dream (dream within a dream)
(I′m not afraid)

Scepter in hand, all the numbers so deceiving
The small dreaming child who wears the crown
Watches the pieces falling down
Like knights in the game, her next move is so unsure
Awaken the Queen of Nevermore
Hidden behind the royal doors

White on her right
Red on her left
Talking in riddles
On ears fallen deaf

Stop with all the lies
All the questions so confusing
Answer the riddles they deny
Losing hope, the child cries

(Dream on)
Do you believe, all the things that you′re seeing are true?
The start's where the end′s leading you
Do you believe, all's as twisted as one would perceive?
Seek the answers and soon you′ll believe


The royal child, in a rage of desperate fury
Shattering all that lies before, screaming dolls fall to the floor
Now remove the masque, from obscuring my dimension
Illusions so clear to me now, her invention is unwound

Escape the dream, like an unwritten book
There at my feet, lies the knight, the queen and the rook

(Dream on)
Do you believe, all the things that you're seeing are true?
The start′s where the end's leading you
Do you believe, all's as twisted as one would perceive?
Seek the answers and soon you′ll believe, oh

(Dream on)
Do you believe, all the things that you′re seeing are true?
The start's where the end′s leading you
Do you believe, all's as twisted as one would perceive?
Seek the answers and soon you′ll believe

(Dream on)
Do you believe, all the things that you're seeing are true?
The start′s where the end's leading you
Do you believe, all's as twisted as one would perceive?
Seek the answers and soon you′ll believe
