Andeel - Natacha Atlas

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
