Analysis of " Shake the Spirit"
Shake the Spirit
Out of sacred grounds
Break the tides
Of flooding shorelines
Don't allow the final breath
Dissolve each sunlight's flicker
Shake the Spirit
For every row of memories
All lined in sorrow
Those were the ones
Facing the terror
Sparing others from vivid nightmares
Shake the Spirit
And return to a time
When life was simple
Filled with ample sentiment
Shake the Spirit
It has a place
So close to home.
