Animus Part II Songtext

God spoke to me today
and I was born today
God spoke to me today
like a mother comforting a newborn child
Was I like a newborn child?
Seeing nothing, my eyes closed to the world outside?
Conscious, oblivious, resisting
Not knowing that I was born?

Removing the bars of this prison inside me
to find out that I put them there
Ascending away from abstraction
Scale the cave to my first breath of air
Removing the bars of this prison inside me
to find out that I put them there
Ascending away from abstraction
My eyes see the sun

Born again!

How was I supposed to find
this beautiful, simple solution
attempting to find the right
answer to the wrong question!?
Feeding the fire
Fed me lies
Feeding the fire
Fed me lies

Shatter the shadows
Drown deceptive flames

Removing the bars of this prison inside me
to find out that I put them there
Ascending away from abstraction
Scale this cave to my first breath of air
Removing the bars of this prison inside me
to find out that I put them there
Ascending away from abstraction
My eyes see the sun

Untangle the emotions that are trapping my soul
Cast them out like arms embracing what I have
And flee the depths of my mind,
to reveal the animus I've been looking for

Realize you've been blind
and open your eyes
to the world outside
Lift a smile to the sky

Gently awake from the rays of the sunshine
Lying here washed up on the shore
Infinite colored clouds, fade through the skyline
Ocean spray touches my skin, once more in the
Warm summer sun
Warm summer sun
Lit the earth at the break of dawn
Lit the earth at the break of dawn
Breathe…

Warm summer sun (Unrelentlessly bleed out)
Warm summer sun (Unconditional love)
Lit the earth at the break of dawn (Filling lungs of summer air)
Lit the earth at the break of dawn (For the first day of light)
(x2)
[Take hold of your life]
[Take hold of your life]

(A - x8) My blinded eyes can see
My deaf ears can hear
My closed mouth can speak
My mind no longer fears
(B - x4) Worries are falling apart
like a half remembered dream
Effortless stream of clarity flows
Gushes and drips from the seam
(C - x2) This spinning earth
fails to skip a beat
Six billion human souls
are singing with me!

(x3) My blinded eyes can see
My deaf ears can hear
My closed mouth can speak
My mind no longer fears
