Nevermore – The Psalm of Lydia Lyrics 16 years ago
Lydia is a church mode, but like all the church modes they were named after Iron Age city-states. Ionia, Dorian, Phrygia, Lydia, Mixolydia, Aeolian, and Locrian. I don't think this song is in a Lydian mode because the Lydia mode is major and this song is far from major.

Lydia is not in Western Europe. It is the western portion of Turkey. It was also landlocked because Ionia held the sea to the west. I think song must be about the land area of Lydia.
