Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

Let me introduce myself, a shadow with good taste

I've watched the ages turning, I've never been erased

I stood behind the curtain when the crowd began to roar

I've worn a thousand faces, walked through every door

[chorus]

Won't you guess my riddle, won't you play my game

Every century remembers, but forgets my name

I'm the whisper in the silence, the fire in the stone

Have some sympathy for the traveler alone

[verse]

I rode along with kings and watched their kingdoms fall

I lit the spark in whispers echoing through every hall

I'm the question in the mirror, the doubt behind your eyes

The pleasure wrapped in danger, the truth behind the lies

[chorus]

Won't you guess my riddle, won't you play my game

Every century remembers, but forgets my name

I'm the whisper in the silence, the fire in the stone

Have some sympathy for the traveler alone

[bridge]

Who's to say what's wicked, who's to say what's true

Every hand that points a finger has a shadow too

I'm just a mirror standing in the corner of the room

Reflecting back the hunger hidden in the gloom

[chorus]

Won't you guess my riddle, won't you play my game

Every century remembers, but forgets my name

I'm the whisper in the silence, the fire in the stone

Have some sympathy for the traveler alone

## Lyrics
[verse]
Let me introduce myself, a shadow with good taste
I've watched the ages turning, I've never been erased
I stood behind the curtain when the crowd began to roar
I've worn a thousand faces, walked through every door

[chorus]
Won't you guess my riddle, won't you play my game
Every century remembers, but forgets my name
I'm the whisper in the silence, the fire in the stone
Have some sympathy for the traveler alone

[verse]
I rode along with kings and watched their kingdoms fall
I lit the spark in whispers echoing through every hall
I'm the question in the mirror, the doubt behind your eyes
The pleasure wrapped in danger, the truth behind the lies

[chorus]
Won't you guess my riddle, won't you play my game
Every century remembers, but forgets my name
I'm the whisper in the silence, the fire in the stone
Have some sympathy for the traveler alone

[bridge]
Who's to say what's wicked, who's to say what's true
Every hand that points a finger has a shadow too
I'm just a mirror standing in the corner of the room
Reflecting back the hunger hidden in the gloom

[chorus]
Won't you guess my riddle, won't you play my game
Every century remembers, but forgets my name
I'm the whisper in the silence, the fire in the stone
Have some sympathy for the traveler alone
