Dead Can Dance - Spirit lyrics

Just like before when I was a child

Only to find that dreams made of sand

Would just fall apart and slip through my hands

But the spirit of life keeps us strong

And the spirit of life is the will to carry on

Adversity what have I done to you

To cause this reclusive silence

That has come between me and you

And the spirit of life oh-ho remains in light

And the spirit of life oh-ho remains inside

I never thought it would be quite like this

Living outside of mutual bliss

But as long as the veins in our arms still stand up

The spirit of life will keep living on
