Doppelganger

Four eyes staring in one direction
A naked presence, a strange connection
A ghostly bond, a mirrored soul
Two halves trying to make one whole

The world is seen through mirrored faces
Two minds in distant, haunted places
A living link that splits apart
The beating mind, the dreaming heart

A cursed decree, a law unseen
Paranormal in its scheme
Like actors in a shadow play
Where truth and madness drift away

Bad luck walks close with quiet breath
Along this path of dull, slow death
Feet on ashes, souls betrayed
Men who leapt and lives they gave

Come forth, O omen of the end
The Doppelgänger shall descend
A perfect mask, a flawless lie
Anomaly with a deceiving eye

Invisible to common sight
The tale unfolds in creeping night
A likeness pure, yet not quite right
The world around begins to bite

The darker side, the evil twin
The nightmare clawing deep within
A cursed reflection, doomed from birth
A haunting echo across the Earth

It lives where all our dreams decay
Where color fades and turns to grey
Where fear lies sleeping, bound and still
And shadows bend to silent will

Come forth, O omen of the end
The Doppelgänger shall descend
A perfect mask, a flawless lie
Anomaly with a deceiving eye

A harbinger of chaos near
Its mouth is dry, its gaze severe
A puppet weeps within the glass
As time and self begin to pass

Go seek your shelter in decay
Where fractured memories drift away
Forgotten thoughts in shattered halls
Conceal the truth behind the walls

Come forth, O omen of the end
The Doppelgänger shall descend
A perfect mask, a flawless lie
Anomaly with a deceiving eye
