About the Wicked Isaacs :: Songs and Lyrics :: The Mirror (Double
Life)
Lyrics by Skye Schezar (c) 2003
I saw the world move
a reflection in a glass,
and on the other side myself - I could never reconcile the gap.
There was only time to fill
a dance whose steps I knew,
my dark and faithless lover, Fate, never dreamed the light of you.
When first I heard your voice,
something answered within me -
Lift me out, bring me up
light the shadows of my double-life -
See at your feet unfolding seasons,
my poor domain,
break the mirror, take me into life.
For you, the paths I've walked,
all of the sights that made me stray -
a word from you, my ghosts all fade, like cold stars before the day.
For you the song I never sang,
the lark flung free and high in flight -
The strength of wings I never knew, by your gifts I race the edge
of night.
When first I felt your touch
something answered within me -
Lift me out, bring me up
light the shadows of my double-life -
See at your feet unfolding seasons,
my poor domain,
break the mirror, take me into life.
The further into you I fall,
larger the life in me -
You lift me up (up from the depths)
You bring me out (carried on your words, your breath),
Dispell the shadows of my double-life,
see me at your feet through unending seasons,
my heart all your domain.
With your bright laughter, break the mirror -
take me with you into life.
Break the mirror
and dance me into life...
