Sail on silver wings, through this storm what fortune love may bring,
back to my arms again the love of a former golden age.
I am disabled by fears concerning which course to take,
for now that wheels are turning I find my faith deserting me.
This night is filled with cries of dispossessed children in search of paradise.
A sign of unresolve ambition drives the pin wheel on and on.
I am disabled by fears concerning which course to take,
When memory bears witness to the innocents consumed in dying rage.
The way lies through our love.
There can be no other means to the end,
or the keys to my heart you will never find.
How could any voice surpass the universal and eternal melancholy of Brendan Perrys voice in this song...
DEAD CAN DANCE speaks directly to your soul and if you are touched by their music it will change you forever.
The Gatherings cover is excellent. For me this one is listenable but
a bit gentle and doesn't have the emotion of the original or the Gatherings effort.
