lyrics

Half the strength bears twice the load.
You’re seeking light in the heart of shadow.
Lost in a mirror thought a window.
As above, so below.
Facing away, still you know
your Double.

Twin bells called you to rise.
Again that feeling
of leaving
something behind.
A stray coin shines on the ground.
Reach after fortune
to find it face down.

Each penny spent is spent twice.
Once on the purchase and
once on everything it didn’t buy.
At the split, each step defines.
Pace oneself and
leave one self behind.

Half the strength bears twice the load.
Seeking light in the heart of shadow.
Lost in a mirror thought a window.
As above, so below.
Facing away, still you know
your Double.

“Where is the world
when you sleep?”,
he whispers to you
in your dreams.
His left : Your right
Always (never) watching,
never (always) meeting eyes.

Half the strength bears twice the load.
Seeking light in the heart of shadow.
Lost in a mirror thought a window.
As above, so below.
Facing away, still you know
still he knows
Facing away, still you know
your Double.
