Antje Duvekot - Black Annis lyrics

When Annis built this cage I saw the blueprint on the table But I was too young to run She lured me from my plain Into her clandestine domain To tend her illicit garden Black, black soul, and Annis takes her toll Child of sin, Black Annis wins again And from her veil of black With all the mirrors at her back She called me into her guarded empire I treaded soft and lightly A fear trembling so slightly Snows in my bones, I dream of the white sea Black, black soul, and Annis takes her toll Child of sin, Black Annis wins again When Annis roared and cheered I knew that no one leaves from here Cause her fervent anger don't spare anything Oh, in a frenzy I dug my trenches She confiscated my defenses With all the forces of night Black, black soul, and Annis takes her toll Child of sin, Black Annis wins again So many years ago I still feel her in my bones I still see her in my dreams And in the bright of day She'll come carry me away On the black wings of the raven On the pitch black wings of Black, black soul, and Annis takes her toll Child of sin, Black Annis wins again Black, black soul
