lyrics

How do you reflect something that isn't black?
And how do you face existence, waiting for your life to begin?
But I never hesitate my darling, to lose all what is human
Winter is calling baby, hibernation is all that I long for

There must be something in your blood
A universe of energy
You've got the strength to light me up
Although I am your shadow honey
Not even oceans could rip it apart;
The anatomy of your heart

When I ask you things, you look into my eyes and whisper
I don't realise how years pass me by that quickly
But I will never be able to face you as old or dead, no
But I promise the black-holes they will swallow our ship someday

There must be something in your blood
A universe of energy
You've got the strength to light me up
Although I am your shadow, honey
Not even oceans could rip you apart
