DANTES PRAYER

When the dark wood fell before meAnd all the paths were overgrownWhen the priests of pride say there is no other wayI tilled the sorrows of stone I did not believe because I could not seeThough you came to me in the nightWhen the dawn seemed forever lostYou showed me your love in the light of the stars Cast your eyes on the oceanCast your soul to the seaWhen the dark night seems endlessPlease remember me Then the mountain rose before meBy the deep well of desireFrom the fountain of forgivenessBeyond the ice and the fire Cast your eyes on the oceanCast your soul to the seaWhen the dark night seems endlessPlease remember me Though we share this humble path, aloneHow fragile is the heartOh give these clay feet wings to flyTo touch the face of the stars Breathe life into this feeble heartLift this mortal veil of fearTake these crumbled hopes, etched with tearsWe'll rise above these earthly cares Cast your eyes on the oceanCast your soul to the seaWhen the dark night seems endlessPlease remember me MAY ALL LOVE BECOME YOU, MAY ALL SORROWS CEASE!
