​[Intro]
The Apollo in me...
And the Mighty Hades that guards him...
They're both within.
​[Verse 1]
A beautiful grin, and yet a hidden sin
Apollo at heart, so full of beauty, kindness and love
Touched with the light from above
Yet like some kind of Jekyll and Hyde...
Hades the Protector, lies deep inside
Waiting for any sign of perceived emotional harm
Poised to pose on any sign of charm
​[Pre-Chorus]
Whispering words of doubt… (never let him out)
This protector's mission, to never let his keep out
So he manages to stray a bit away sometimes
In retaliation... his inner protector punishes him for crimes
Cuts him off from all in shame
Determined the emotion to tame...
​[Chorus 1]
So Apollo loves, but Hades is the killer of such doves
He cannot bear to let him be free
In fear that his tears... he’d be forced to see
(see... see...)
​[Verse 2]
Yeah, he’s waiting for the sign
Casts him in shadow, draws the line
Anytime I feel a connection
He just sees a new infection
A new way for me to get hurt
Puts my light on high alert
He thinks he's doing right
But he's just pulling me from the light
He’s just starting another fight...
​[Chorus 2]
So Apollo loves, but Hades is the killer of such doves
He cannot bear to let him be free
In fear that his tears... he’d be forced to see
(forced to see...)
​[Bridge]
Yet Apollo gets stronger and stronger every day
Slowly but surely, he is finding the way
(finding the way!)
Opened doors, and found his way in the towers
Figured out... he was the one feeding Hades' powers!
​[Outro / Climax]
So he will keep fighting to finally be free!
Because one day he knows he can be!
Even if it takes taming the shadows he finds along the way!
...Apollo knows... he will make it to that day.

Apollo in me

Rise From the Ashes

Invisible Anchor

Em & Double-U is a Polish-American darkwave band, formed online in 2019 by two childhood friends: Wojciech Makowski [a.k.a. Em] (vocals, synthesizers, samplers, programming) and Kamil Walczak [a.k.a. Double-U] (guitars, bass, drums, vocals, programming). In 1992-93, they were co-founders of the Polish coldwave band, A Herd Of The Rushing Vises, which broke up after recording a demo tape “The Bad Place” (1993). Since then, their musical paths have diverged to merge again during the Covid-19 pandemic due to their unwavering friendship and their intact passion for music. Since the very beginning, the band has been associated with the Metronome School of Music and Recording Studio in New York City. So far, they have released 4 full-length studio albums: "A Lethal Dose Of Sadness" (2002), "Beacon Of Hope" (2003), "Phantoms" (2004), and "Stolen Dreams" (2025). Presently, they are working intensively on their 5th album "Silent Suffering" (with original material from 2003). Wojciech Makowski is a prolific creator of piano and ambient music, while Kamil Walczak is an enthusiastic creator of gothic music.
