Beneath A Phyrgian Sky Lyrics - A Mediterranean Odyssey - Loreena Mckennitt

The moonlight it was dancing 

On the waves, out on the sea 

The stars of heaven hovered 

In a shimmering galaxy 

A voice from down the ages 

So haunting in its song 

These ancient stones will tell us 

Our love must make us strong 

The breeze it wrapped around me 

As I stood there on the shore 

And listened to this voice 

Like I never heard before 

Our battles they may find us 

No choice may ours to be 

But hold the banner proudly 

The truth will set us free

My mind was called across the years 

Of rages and of strife 

Of all the human misery 

And all the waste of life 

We wondered where our God was 

In the face of so much pain 

I looked up to the stars above 

To find you once again 

We travelled the wide oceans 

Heard many call your name 

With sword and gun and hatred 

It all seemed much the same 

Some used your name for glory 

Some used it for their gain 

Yet when liberty lay wanting 

No lives were lost in vain 

Photos 

Is it not our place to wonder 

As the sky does weep with tears 

And all the living creatures 

Look on with mortal fear 

It is ours to hold the banner 

Is ours to hold it long 

It is ours to carry forward 

Our love must make us strong 

And as the warm wind carried 

Its song into the night 

I closed my eyes and tarried 

Until the morning light 

As the last star it shimmered 

And the new sun's day gave birth 

It was in this magic moment 

Came this prayer for mother earth 

Reprise: 

The moonlight it was dancing 

On the waves, out on the sea 

The stars of heaven hovered 

In a shimmering galaxy 

A voice from down the ages 

So haunting in its song 

The ancient stones will tell us 

Our love must make us strong
