Dante's Prayer

[Black_Bird]

When the dark wood fell before me
and all the paths were over grown
when the priest of pride say there is not other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone.

I did not believe because I could not see
though you came to me in the night.
When the dawn seemed forever lost,
you showed me your love in the light of the stars.

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seem endless,
Please remember me.

Then the mountian rose before me
by the deep well of desire
from the fountian of forgiveness,
Beyond the ice and fire.

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seem endless,
Please remember me.

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
to touch the face of the stars.

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
take these crumbled hopes eched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares.

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seem endless,
Please remember me.

- Loreena McKennitt, Dante's Prayer.
