Spiritus Manes Et Umbra Lyrics

Dr. Z Spiritus Manes Et Umbra

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
