[Verse 1: Daniel Änghede, Daniel Änghede & Lisa Johansson]
Anima, break me
Defend me before the storm
Anima, recover me
Defend me before the storm envelopes me
[Chorus: Daniel Änghede & Lisa Johansson]
For my heart is tired, tired from trying
Freeing the soul from all of this dying
From shipwrecks and tides, and counterfeit smiles
'Til you; my Anima dies
[Verse 2: Daniel Änghede & Lisa Johansson, Daniel Änghede]
Anima, don't forsake me
Breath life into me
Console me so I don't turn blind
Not to fade as Saturn passes by
[Chorus: Daniel Änghede & Lisa Johansson]
For my heart is tired, tirеd from trying
Freeing the soul from all of this dying
From shipwrecks and tides, and countеrfeit smiles
'Til you; my Anima dies
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Anders Jacobsson]
Anima, I kiss the lights, my co-creator in silence
It's the darkling grace of this spectral bride within
I lie awake with the rustlings in the attic of my mind
The harrowing trauma paints the shadow that walks beside me
Oh Anima, you're the wind in my sail and the heartbreak in my smile
You're the tender whisper as I die
[Chorus: Anders Jacobsson, Lisa Johansson, Daniel Änghede]
For my heart is tired, tired from trying
Freeing the soul from all of this dying
From shipwrecks and tides, and counterfeit smiles
'Til you; my Anima dies
[Outro: Daniel Änghede]
Anima, watch over me
