"Caribbean Blue"

?.. Eurus ... ...
Afer Ventus ... ...

so the world goes round and round
with all you ever knew
They say the sky high above is
Caribbean blue ... ...

if every man says all he can,
if every man is true,
do I believe the sky above
is Caribbean blue ...

... Boreas ... ..
. Zephryus ...

... if all you told was turned to gold,
if all you dreamed were new,
imagine sky high above
in Caribbean blue ...

"How Can I Keep From Singing?"

My life goes on in endless song
above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.

Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear it's music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?

While though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.

And though the darkness 'round me close,
songs in the night it giveth.?

No storm can shake my inmost calm,
while to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
how can I keep from singing?

When tyrants tremble in their fear
and hear their death knell ringing,
when friends rejoice both far and near
how can I keep from singing?

In prison cell and dungeon vile
our thoughts to them are winging,
when friends by shame are undefiled
how can I keep from singing?

"Ebudae"

Amharc, mn?ag obair l?'s mall san o?h,
Ceolann siad ar laetha geal, a bh?
Bealach fada anonn 's anall a ch?ch.

"Angeles"

woftngels, answer me,
are you near if rain should fall?
Am I to believe
you will rise to calm the storm?
For so great a treasure words will never do.
Surely, if this is,
promises are mine to give you.
mine to give...

Here, all too soon the day!
Wish the moon to fall and alter tomorrow.
I should know
heaven has her way
- each one given memories to own.

Angeles, all could be
should you move both earth and sea
Angeles, I could feel
all those dark clouds disappearing...

Even, as I breathe
comes an angel to their keep.
Surely, if this is
promises are mine to give you.
mine to give...

"Book Of Days"

?l?go l? mo thuras,
An bealach fada romham.
?o?he go ho?he, mo thuras,
na sc?lta nach mbeidh a cho?h.

"Book Of Days (English Version)"

One day, one night, one moment
My dreams could be tomorrow
One step, one fall, one falter
East or West,
Over earth or by ocean
One way to be my journey
This way could be my
Book of Days

No day,no night, no moment
Can hold me back from trying
One flag, one fall, one falter
I'll find my day maybe
Far and Away
Far and Away

One day, one night one moment
With a dream to be leaving
One step, one fall, one falter
Find a new world across a wide ocean
This way became my journey
This day brings together
Far and Away

This day brings together
Far and Away
Far and Away.

"Evacuee"

"Marble Halls"

woxdreamt I dwelt in marble halls
with vassals and serfs at my side,
and of all who assembled within those walls
that I was the hope and the pride.
I had riches all too great to count
and a high ancestral name.

But I also dreamt which pleased me most
that you loved me still the same,
that you loved me
you loved me still the same,
that you loved me you loved me
still the same.

I dreamt that suitors sought my hand,
that knights upon bended knee
and with vows no maidens heart could withstand,
they pledged their faith to me.
And I dreamt that one of that noble host
came forth my hand to claim.

But I also dreamt which charmed me most
that you loved me still the same
that you loved me
you loved me still the same,
that you loved me
you loved me still the same.

"Smaointe..."
