about

Anima is a beautiful and atmospheric track of 8 1/2 minutes duration.

lyrics

From Circe's golden ethos, clothed,
And garlanded in Orchid's tears
She sails, a sister of the sun,
From far beyond her years.....
I see a rising castle, silver towered,
Majestic in the moonlight;
A misty lady in my arms,
Giving me her goodnight....
Was she a lady, I a lord
In castle courts our consort kept -
A knightly bow, so, nightly warm;
The karmic course cast as we slept?
To bring our flesh to meet again
In time, for ever changing all;
Continued life through shifting scenes;
I reach my hand to heed your call......
You dressed in Siren's murder robes,
And drowned me naked in my dreams....
I should take my time; captive, cautious and calm.
Measure every step - but it's out of my hands......
A web of dreams her secret spins, though now no secret to my days.
A million faces hide her smile; a single kiss betrays her...
She draws me on along the ridge, to the place where men must choose
The no-thing suck of the abyss, or else the Question one pursues....
And so I crossed her body's bridge,
Unsure of what I had begun there....
I should take my time; captive, cautious and calm,
Measure every step - but it's out of my hands........
