Animate

Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson



Polarize me

Sensitize me

Criticize me

Civilize me

Compensate me

Animate me

Complicate me

Elevate me



Goddess in my garden

Sister in my soul

Angel in my armor

Actress in my role



Daughter of a demon-lover

Empress of the hidden face

Priestess of the pagan mother

Ancient queen of inner space



Spirit in my psyche

Double in my role

Alter in my image

Struggle for control



Mistress of the dark unconscious

Mermaid of the lunar sea

Daughter of the great enchantress

Sister to the boy inside of me



My counterpart --- my foolish heart

A man must learn to rule his tender part

A warming trend --- a gentle friend

A man must build a fortress to defend



A secret face --- a touch of grace

A man must learn to give a little space

A peaceful state --- a submissive trait

A man must learn to gently dominate
