Animus

It is life's stated purpose to be lived
And thus, my stated purpose to live it
As time runs, I shall savor a stroll
As time stands still, I shall devour each moment
Be they fools, those who remember death only when confronted by it
I am but a man, with but a life
Guided by purpose

Born from silence, forged in flame
A shadow walks but knows its name
Through broken vows and scars that gleam
I rise again to chase the dream
The weight of doubt can't bury me
I've walked the edge, I've seen the sea

Animus!
Through despair I forge my crown
Aenima!
In the void I stand unbound
Animus!
Blood and spirit intertwine
Till the day that I die

Echoes call from the depths within
A war of flesh, a war of sin
No chains remain, no gods control
The will unbound reclaim the soul!
The fear dissolves, the heart believes
In blood and truth, the spirit breathes

Animus!
I was torn, but I remain
Aenima!
Through the scars I feel alive
Animus!
No surrender, no disguise
As animus survives

Feel my soul!
