Mirror Sister

Mirror sister on the wall, you sing alone.
The complex tune of melancholy comes forth.

Mirror sister on the wall, envious eyes stare for jewels.
But they lay blinded to true wealth that stands beside you.

Mirror sister on the wall, you dance alone with the spirit of envy.
Your husband claws at your silk dress in hopes to bring you from madness.

Mirror sister on the wall, Cain himself could not see.
The desperation within your heart, will be your defeat.

Mirror sister on the wall, you sing alone
The complex tune of melancholy comes forth.
