Lyric discussion by kristoferh 

Cover art for Skellig lyrics by Loreena McKennitt

I was listening to a play of my thousands of songs of the most diverse styles in the world. Because it is Sunday, as a devoted Mormon I knew it was coming time when I must begin to listen to only religious oriented music. The last song playing after "What Do You Want From Me" was this sad beautiful song that I knew was Loreena Mckennitt but I didn't know the title or its story but I hoped it had a religious subject matter because I yearned to hear it again. After much investigation of the song via a description by the lovely Miss Mckennitt about an island of Irish monks separated from the world to scribe the words of God I had, not only my wish, but after watching a number of YouTube's wonderful videos of the song I most assuredly considered it a miracle and a blessing of the Lord.
