Lyrics
Spiritus, Manes et Umbra
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was born in the Middle Earth
Made no decisions about my birth
Seems to me I only came to have to die
Pushed out through a woman's legs
Not asked - the reason why
When I began all I did was eat and drink
It was a time before I started me to think
Used my body, hardened up my heart,
- Didn't realise it was
My soul - that came apart
Three Parts to my soul
Spiritus, manes et umbra
While I was growing
To put to practice all the good things I had learned
'Love your neighbour', 'Give shelter to your friend',
'Suppress the evil in your heart',
'The means - will make the end'
Three Parts to my soul
Spiritus, manes et umbra
The more I live, to love caress and tend
The more I know the need to rave and rip and rend
So liberate my soul, come see the trinity
- Neither good nor bad
It's dead - that makes you free
Three Parts to my soul
Spiritus, manes et umbra
