VERSE 4

I'm not sure how this is played. I mean it's not too easy to hear what's played.
But I think the chords should be correct.

I'm not sure how to tab this verse because of the strumming.
But if you listen to the album, you'll figure it out

Play rhy. fig. 1 once.


VERSE 7

Odd verse this one. It's just some "soloing" in the background that's
pretty hard to hear, but I think it should be correct. I also think 
there's a guitar that plays the chords I've notated

Verse 1
        Far, far beyond the island
        We dwelt in shades of twilight
        Through dread and weary days
        Through grief and endless pain

Verse 2
        It lies unknown
        The land of mine
        A hidden gate 
        to save us from the shadow fall

Verse 3
        The lord of water spoke
        In the silence
        Words of wisdom
        I've seen the end of all
        Be aware the storm gets closer

Chorus 1
        Mirror, mirror on the wall
        True hope lies beyond the coast
        You're a damned kind,
        can't you see that the winds will change
        Mirror, mirror on the wall
        True hope lies beyond the coast
        You're a damned kind,
        can't you see that tomorrow bears insanity   

Verse 4
        Gone's the wisdom of thousand years
        A world in fire and chains and fear
        Leads me to a place so far
        Deep down it lies, my secret vision
        I better keep it safe

Verse 5
        Shall I leave my frieds alone
        Hidden in my twilight hall
        (I) know the world is lost in fire
        Sure there is no way to turn it back
         to the old days

Verse 6
        Of bliss and cheerful laughter
        We're lost in barren lands
        Caught in the running flames 
        Alone

Verse 7
        How shall we leave the lost road
        Time's getting short, so follow me
        A leaders task so clearly
        To find the path out of the dark

Chorus 2
        Mirror, mirror on the wall
        True hope lies beyond the coast
        You're a damned kind,
        can't you see that the winds will change
        Mirror, mirror on the wall
        True hope lies beyond the coast
        You're a damned kind,
        can't you see that the winds will change

Verse 8
        Even though the storm calmed down
        The bitter end 
        It's just a matter of time

Verse 9
        Shall we dare the dragon
        Mercyless he's poisening our hearts
        ...our hearts

Verse 10
        How shall we leave the lost road
        Time's getting short, so follow me
        A leaders task so clearly
        To find the path out of the dark

Chorus 3
        Mirror, mirror on the wall
        True hope lies beyond the coast
        You're a damned kind,
        can't you see that the winds will change
        Mirror, mirror on the wall
        True hope lies beyond the coast
        You're a damned kind,
        can't you see that the winds will change
