The Mirror Maze Lyrics

The Hippie and Futureman find themselves broken by the Mirror Maze, because they can't face up to what their lives really mean, what caused them to become as they are. Meanwhile, the Knight and Roman come together to confront their fears and pains in the Mirror Maze and manage to overcome them, becoming more whole from the experience.

Personally, I kind of suspect the Knight is meant to be Lancelot, as the whole of this album is a Chapel Perilous experience, something Lancelot went through, and the Knight clearly evokes "The Final Experiment" album, which takes place largely in Camelot.
