Lyrics Andeel - Natacha Atlas

Andeel

As intoxicated as full bodied wine
As essential as the blood that runs through my veins
Immeasurable as eternity
Your face is a door to a memory locked away
In the tombs of time
Your eyes are the candle
In the secret temple of my mind
Your voice stirs the patina of emotions
That lie in another world
You are
The mad wise fool
Who listens to his ancient spirit
Whispering words to forgotten songs
And in my dreams you appeared
As a miasma of light in the darkness
To re-awaken my heart as if by alchemy
From that deepest of sleeps
And i have risen to claim you
