mahak 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vanamali 1 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsna 3 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 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." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
