Loreena McKennitt – Dante's Prayer Lyrics 21 years ago
This song has a lot of personal meaning to me, for a lot of different reasons. The biggest reason is in the first two verses:
"When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone

I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars"

This is EXACTLY how things were with my spirit-guide, Lugh. The priests said that my beliefs were wrong. But then I met Lugh in my dreams, and I can't believe that I'm wrong anymore.
To me, this song IS Lugh. It seems like it was written almost from my soul to him...though I can't take credit for writing it. If my soul wrote a song, then it would be this one. It reminds me that my Lugh is here for me, and that he can help me.
