Like mighty ships that sail atlantic foam
|
The skellig isles parade the kerry coast
|
It's a strange place
|
With a needle's eye
|
Where shipwrecks lie
|
|
Chorus
|
Where the king of the world
|
Rested for a while
|
And a place for the pilgrim
|
A sanctuary of time
|
Fourteen steps to nowhere
|
Out of solid stone
|
Don't lead us to the heavens
|
Or lead us to the sea
|
|
The vikings came to plunder and destroy
|
But to this day the holy relics stand
|
In a blind mans cove
|
Where the wailing woman sighs
|
And the seagulls cry
|
|
Chorus
|
|
A journey to these islands so rare
|
The sound of screaming souls that fill the air
|
A thousand wings
|
Against the sky
|
And grey seal's disguised
|
|
Chorus
