Elizabeth: I. Mirror Mirror Lyrics
Elizabeth I. Mirror Mirror
Mirror can you tell me
How to stay forever young
Let me know the secret
I will hold my twisted tongue
Please protect my beauty
Velvet skin so pure and white
Hear my name resounding
Like a hymn at dead of night
Once I struck a servant
She's a virgin free from sin
Drops of blood caressed me
And refined my aging skin
Could this be the answer
Uncorrupted carmine red
Voices keep resounding
In my dazed bewildered head
Have I found myself eternity
Someone has heard my prayers
Now I'll become divine
Have I found myself divinity
I'm no longer a slave
To the vicious hands of time
Mirror can you tell me
How to stay forever young
Let me know the secret
I will hold my twisted tongue
Please protect my beauty
Velvet skin so pure and white
Hear my name resounding
Like a hymn at dead of night
Once I struck a servant
She's a virgin free from sin
Drops of blood caressed me
And refined my aging skin
Could this be the answer
Uncorrupted carmine red
Voices keep resounding
In my dazed bewildered head
Have I found myself eternity
Someone has heard my prayers
Now I'll become divine
Have I found myself divinity
I'm no longer a slave
To the vicious hands of time
Elizabeth
Wake up
Elizabeth
Wake up
Wake up
Elizabeth
Wake up
About
Genius Annotation
This is the first song of a three-part series that retells the story of Countess Elizabeth Báthory, who was a real person and serial killer. While the legends around her are more famous than the verifiable facts, Kamelot’s retelling lies somewhere in between the history and the legend. It tells the story from her perspective, with evil taking center stage, analogous to John Gardner’s Grendel or John Milton’s Paradise Lost.
