lyrics

Don’t look in the mirror, don’t look in the mirror, wistful émigré
Lest you see the terror, lest you see the terror and woe
Your formidable father falters with a weight that's too late for him
Not-to-be-forgotten brothers wallow in the fallow they know

And your mother, oh your mother, she's weeping like a mother at the barrier
She'd wished away the rains that washed away the life that you'd sewn
And the laurel-scented lover you left, they always thought that you'd carry her
Now you're leaving in another watercolour, you're leaving alone

For now you'll put your pride aside until you pay what you owe

The ether dusk descends along the river
Another debtor’s letter's been delivered
Of the land where you couldn't flow, you learn to let go

Where the brittle princes fell, you see the true cost
On the road that endeth well, you bear your new cross
Of the land where you couldn't flow you learn to let go

For now you'll put your pride aside until you pay what you owe
