Double Agent Lyrics - Counterparts - Rush

Where would you rather be? 

Anywhere but here 

When will the time be right? 

Anytime but now 

On the edge of sleep, 

I was drifting for half the night 

Anxious and restless, 

pressed down by the darkness 

Bound up and wound up so tight 

So many decisions, a million revisions 

Caught between darkness and light... 

Wilderness of mirrors 

World of polished steel 

Gears and iron chains 

Turn the grinding wheel 

I run between the shadows 

Some are phantoms, some are real

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Where would you rather be? 

Anywhere but here 

When will the time be right? 

Anytime but now 

The doubt and fear 

I know will all disappear 

Anywhere but here 

On the edge of sleep, 

I heard voices behind the door 

The known and the nameless, 

familiar and faceless 

My angels and my demons at war 

Which one will lose depends on what I choose 

Or maybe which voice I ignore... 

Photos 

Wilderness of mirrors 

Streets of cold desire 

My precious sense of honor 

Just a shield of rusty wire 

I hold against the chaos 

And the cross of holy fire 

Wilderness of mirrors 

So easy to deceive 

My precious sense of rightness 

Is sometimes so naive 

So that which I imagine 

Is that which I believe 

On the edge of sleep, I awoke to a sun so bright 

Rested and fearless, cheered by your nearness 

I knew which direction was right 

The case has been tried by the jury inside 

The choice between darkness and light...
