Haribol. Perhaps lyrics to popular songs should be shared on the world section, but I am personally so moved by the lyrics of Loreena McKennett's Dante's Prayer, I had to print them here.

 

Dante's Prayer

 

When the dark wood fell before me

And all the paths were overgrown

When the priests of pride say there is no 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 seems endless

Please remember me

 

Then the mountain rose before me

By the deep well of desire

From the fountain of forgiveness

Beyond the ice and fire

 

Cast your eyes on the ocean

Cast your soul to the sea

When the dark night seems 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, etched 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 seems endless

Please remember me

Please remember me

If I could make a wish I think I'd pass

Can't think of anything I need

No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound

Nothing to eat no books to read

Making love with you, has left me peaceful warm inside

What more could I ask

There's nothing left to be desired

 

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you

All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you

Just to have you now

All I need is the air that I breathe You're all I want

 

Peace came upon me and it breathes in me

Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep

 

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you

Just to have you now

All I need is the air that I breath yes to love you

All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want

A heavy thunder breaks the deep lethargy within your head....

 

...causing you to upstart suddenly, like a person who by force is awakened.

 

Before you stands an enormous gate with an inscription that reads:

 

 

"Through me the way into the suffering city,

Through me the way to the eternal pain,

Through me the way that runs among the lost.

 

Justice urged on my high artificer;

My maker was divine authority,

The highest wisdom, and the primal love.

 

Before me nothing but eternal things were made,

And I endure eternally.

 

Abandon every hope, ye who enter here."
