Loreena Mckennitt-An Ancient Muse

No lives were lost in vain

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 in haunting in its song

The ancient stones will tell us

Our love will make us strong
