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

Have you noticed how this particular Loreena McKennitt song sounds a lot like ... every other Loreena McKennitt song? Who buys these? I mean, unless your mindset is permanently lodged in some netherworld of princesses and fairies and I don't exactly know what else, these creaky dirges to the drama of some Camelot world are the most boring things on RP. It's like Kate Bush meets The Ladyes Delight . I prefer either to LM, at least everything after her first album, which just sound like ... terrible versions of her first album.

Kinda wish it were just the chorus the whole time. Very Gretchaninov-y.
