Wait for an Answer, Straight Through the Mirror, and The New Order -. As for these I am also struggling wether they are or not. Not so much The New Order. There are conceptional links. New Order more like Life Beyond the Spheres are individual topics - using similar technics. Both are attempts to create something suspicious with an optimistic turn out. Wait for an Answer gets close to the Stephen King Dark Tower concept in our regard to Beyond the Red Mirror. Yet, in the first case the hare in Wait for an Answer is a literal fable hare as the fox is. The white crow however has very strong features of the Crow in Beyond the Red Mirror, I have to admit.

People have also theorised about other Blind Guardian songs outside of Imaginations/Red Mirror tying into the story like how all Stephen King's books tie back into The Dark Tower. This is really what I was thinking of when I asked my question. Maybe not a correct assessment, but songs like Wait for an Anser, Straight Through the Mirror, and The New Order certainly feel connected to the story of Beyond the Red Mirror. Thanks for this little addendum :)
