Second Time Around

I walk through the valley of mystery, confronting of my inner fears
Now I face this darkened madness
Where I bathed in theikfaters of sanity
I'm drawn to a mystical sea
Sensing that life is repeating but now in such different roles
Second time I crossed the wire
In this life I burn two fires
The souls they wait to play their separate games
The fight with this psychic illusion
An image of my history.
Now I see through all this blindness
The mirror of life is repeating
Reflections we may never see
Sensing that life is recurring but now in such different roles
Second time I crossed the wire in this life
I burned two fires
The souls they wait to play their separate games
Can a life begin again though a world apart we are
Does my soul remain my own or is hell one step too far
Now I walk in the field where a forest has grown
Those lives will never return
Did the secret die or was I reborn
That something is what I will learn
Second time I crossed the wire in this life
I burn two fires
The souls they wait to play their separate games
