BLACK MIRROR
I walked down to the ocean,
After waking from the nightmare,
No moon, no pale reflection:
Black Mirror.

Shot by a security camera,
You can’t watch your own image,
And also look yourself in the eye:
Black Mirror.

I know a time is coming,
All words will lose their meaning,
Please show me something that isn’t mine,
(but mine is the only kind that I relate to).

Le miroir casse {this broken mirror},
Le miroir casts mon reflet partout {this mirror casts my reflections everywhere}:
Black Mirror.

Black Mirror knows no reflection,
It knows not pride or vanity,
It cares not about your dreams,
It cares not for your pyramid schemes.

Their names are never spoken,
The curse is never broken,
The curse is never broken...

Un, duex, trois, du miroir noir {one, two, three, the black mirror}:
Black Mirror!

Mirror, mirror on the wall...
Show me where them bombs will fall!
Mirror, mirror on the wall...
Show me where them bombs will fall!

Black Mirror.
