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 the 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
