What if we lived in a fairy tale?
Somewhere too far for others to find...
Where all the people are pale,
And the world is made as if it were china.
Nevertheless if it shatters all will be revealed.
Beware! For porcelain is fragile,
And woe is the one that lets it collapse.
Since once this image is gone…
It will never be again.
Then the reality once magical,
Shall fall to shadows and tricks.
Become a place of greed and lies,
A reflection of our own.
And the only truth is hidden,
A place where evil is all that is not a lie.
Then a mirror is all that we shall behold…
