1302 - Blind Guardian Mirror Mirror 1998

"Mirror Mirror" is a single by the German power metal band Blind Guardian, the song was composed for the 1998 album "Nightfall in Middle-Earth". Lyrics of "Mirror Mirror", based on J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Silmarillion", recount how Turgon, in view of inevitable defeat, builds the city of Gondolin, aided by Ulmo ("The Lord of Water"). The track first arrives at a folkish gait before the thunder breaks and the band charges out of the gate, weaving back towards the opening melody as it creates an escalating storm of melody of flutes and axes both acoustic and electric.
