Prelude #1/Black Annis - Solas

When Annis built this cage

I saw the blueprint on the table

But I was too young to run

She lured me from my play

To her clandestine domain

To tend her illicit garden

Black, black soul

And Annis takes her toll

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

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 jeered

I knew that no one leaves from here

Her fervid anger don’t spare anything

In the frenzy of my senses

She confiscated my defenses

With all the forces of night

When Annis built this cage

I saw the blueprint on the table

But I was too young to run

She lured me from my play

To her clandestine domain

To tend her illicit garden

Black, black soul

And Annis takes her toll

Child of sin

Black Annis wins again

Black, black soul

And Annis takes her toll

Child of sin

Black Annis wins again

Black, black soul
