Lyrics

Black Mirror

I walked down to the ocean
After waking from a nightmare
No moon no pale reflection
Black mirror, black mirror

Shot by a security camera
You can't watch your own image
And also look yourself in the eye
Black mirror, black mirror, 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,
The mirror casts mon reflet partout
Black mirror, black mirror, black mirror

The 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! Deux! Trois! Dis: Miroir Noir!
Black mirror!
Un! Deux! Trois! Dis: Miroir Noir!
Black mirror!

Black mirror
Black mirror

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

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
Black mirror
Black mirror
Black mirror
Black mirror
Black mirror
