Portrait of Dorian Gray

If you would sit within a darkened room

With a candle to one side

Look hard into the mirror

And just focus on your eyes

As you sink deeper into your soul

Your outline will slowly fade

To be replaced by a devils mask

Or the portrait of Dorian Gray

As you stare into the parallel world

What do you really see?

The reflection looking back at you

Is not the face that used to be?

The years have passed so swiftly

Like a flash across the skies

The countenance of youth has gone

Or perhaps the mirror lies?

What demon lurks within its depths?

Or just a face you wish to hide

Maybe you've passed beyond the glass

To view from the other side

Don't wait till the clock strikes midnight

Or you will open up a door

And loose the demons that what lies within

That could touch your very soul

Don't wait until the witching hour

Marks the end of another day

Or you will unleash the dark forces

And the curse of Dorian Gray

Are you seeing what lies in store?

When time has had its way

Or are you seeing what really is

Like the portrait of Dorian Gray
