The looking glass

[Gabriel:]
Drawn by the sound of that wild raving pound
No one has told me
I gotta know all about hell and below
They never told me
The quest for nexus
In your life and for all that´s beyond...
[Gabriel:]
When I gaze at the man who is gazing at me
When I stare into the looking glass
When I ask what he sees
Then I´m asking for more and the more
that i wanna know
I know what I´ll never know
[Tree of Knowledge:]
From far away, from the state of decay
You´ve come to wisdom
Many´ve been led, into madness instead
Toll of my kingdom
The quest for nexus has brought
Many men of genius to insanity
[Gabriel:]
When I gaze at the man who is gazing at me
When I stare into the looking glass
When I ask what he sees
[Tree of Knowledge:]
Then you´re asking for more, and the more that
you wanna know
You know what you´ll never know
[Solo: Henjo Richter]
[Tree of Knowledge:]
As long as you long for the whole
You can´t get a part of at all
How proud would the buildings of Rome
Look without a single stone
[Gabriel:]
When I gaze at the man who is gazing at me
When I stare into the looking glass
When I ask what he sees
Then I´m asking for more and the more
that i wanna know
I know what I´ll never know...
Drawn by the sound of that wild raving pound
No one has told me
I gotta know all about hell and below
They never told me
The quest for nexus
In your life and for all that´s beyond...
[Gabriel:]
When I gaze at the man who is gazing at me
When I stare into the looking glass
When I ask what he sees
Then I´m asking for more and the more
that i wanna know
I know what I´ll never know
[Tree of Knowledge:]
From far away, from the state of decay
You´ve come to wisdom
Many´ve been led, into madness instead
Toll of my kingdom
The quest for nexus has brought
Many men of genius to insanity
[Gabriel:]
When I gaze at the man who is gazing at me
When I stare into the looking glass
When I ask what he sees
[Tree of Knowledge:]
Then you´re asking for more, and the more that

You know what you´ll never know
