Spiritus, Manes Et Umbra

Spiritus, Manus, Et Umbra

I was born in the Middle Earth
Made no decision 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 up incredibly concerned
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 lived, 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
