There's someone else in your looking-glass
Between the potions and creams
All the little jars that pile up
You see, time'as gone by anyway
We thought to stay still, despite the sentence given to us
We spend ourselves, we struggle, and even under the feet of a queen,
The big hand of the clock moves.
We will strive for eternity
It's so good here
We'll do everything as if
We were here to stay
Between the knockouts of the route,
The U-turns, the dead ends,
The long nights, the short days,
And everything which scratches the surface
Everyone falls in their turn
To the ravaging claws
The only remedy is love
Besides, that's what we're running after
From one end of space to the other
We will strive for eternity
It's so good here
We'll do everything as if
We were here to stay
We're far from tired
In a corner of my thoughts,
A lifetime away, tying,
Starting again a thousand times
And it's for that we'll stay, stay, stay
I would have liked to bring you
On a beautiful lace cushion,
The niche where the keys
Of the eternal mechanics are hiding
But the clock is out of reach
And it isn't the most important thing here
The hands can keep turning
And it can take everything away
I find you more beautiful every day
We will strive for eternity
It's so good here
We'll do everything as if
We were here to stay
We're far from tired
In a corner of my thoughts,
A lifetime away, tying,
Starting again a thousand times
We'll stay, stay, stay
We're in no hurry
For everything that has hurt us
Everything that has had to embrace us
The same thing, all over again
We will strive for eternity
It's so good here
We'll do everything as if
We were here to stay
