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 |
