[ti:Beneath A Phrygian Sky] [ar:Loreena McKennitt] [al:An Ancient Muse] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.79]Beneath A Phrygian Sky [00:02.00] [01:57.48]The moonlight it was dancing [02:01.06]On the waves out on the sea [02:03.93] [02:05.30]The stars of heaven hovered [02:08.95]In a shimmering galaxy [02:12.21] [02:13.29]A voice from down the ages [02:16.91]So in haunting in its song [02:19.94] [02:21.24]These ancient stones will tell us [02:24.94]Our love must make us strong [02:28.03] [02:35.35]The breeze it wrapped around me [02:38.55] [02:39.24]As I stood there on the shore [02:41.76] [02:43.39]And listened to this voice [02:47.01]Like I never heard before [02:50.33] [02:51.48]Our battles they may find us [02:54.87]No choice may ours to be [02:57.94] [02:59.25]But hold the banner proudly [03:02.89]The truth will set us free [03:05.84] [03:21.65]My mind was called across the years [03:25.09]Of rages and of strife [03:27.99] [03:29.31]Of all the human misery [03:33.05]And all the waste of life [03:35.75] [03:37.25]We wondered where our God was [03:40.77]In the face of so much pain [03:43.92] [03:45.01]I looked up to the stars above [03:49.01]To find you once again [03:51.96] [04:37.35]We travelled the wide oceans [04:40.92]Heard many call your name [04:43.74] [04:45.32]With sword and gun and hatred [04:48.90]It all seemed much the same [04:51.78] [04:53.03]Some used your name for glory [04:56.86]Some used it for their gain [04:59.81] [05:00.81]Yet when liberty lay wanting [05:04.94]No lives were lost in vain [05:08.28] [05:15.39]Is it not our place to wonder [05:18.86]As the sky does weep with tears [05:21.81] [05:23.43]And all the living creatures [05:27.05]Look on with mortal fear [05:30.07] [05:30.90]It is ours to hold the banner [05:35.02]Is ours to hold it long [05:38.22] [05:38.97]It is ours to carry forward [05:42.94]Our love must make us strong [05:46.08] [06:01.47]And as the warm wind carried [06:05.09]Its song into the night [06:07.79] [06:08.99]I closed my eyes and tarried [06:13.14]Until the morning light [06:16.01] [06:16.89]As the last star it shimmered [06:20.93]And the new sun’s day gave birth [06:24.25] [06:24.87]It was in this magic moment [06:28.99]Came this prayer for mother earth [06:32.02] [06:39.27]The moonlight it was dancing [06:42.93]On the waves out on the sea [06:45.87] [06:47.33]The stars of heaven hovered [06:51.07]In a shimmering galaxy [06:54.15] [06:54.77]A voice from down the ages [06:58.86]So in haunting in its song [07:02.12] [07:03.20]The ancient stones will tell us [07:06.83]Our love will make us strong
