When the dark wood fell before me And all paths were overgrown When the priests of pride said "There is no other way" I tilled the sorrows of stone Then the mountain rose before me By the deep well of desire From the fountain of forgiveness Beyond the ice and the fire 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 Life this mortal veil of fear Take these crumbled hopes etched with tears We'll rise above these earthly cares...

 

That was an extract from "The Night Ride Across The Caucasus"
a beautiful poetic song by Celtic artist Loreena McKennit whose ballads and music expresses the deep rich spiritual wisdom of Celtic culture and mysticism
