Adapted From Dante's Inferno
When the dark wood fell before me I did not believe because I could not see Cast your eyes on the ocean Then the mountain rose before me Cast your eyes on the ocean Though we share this humble path, alone Breathe life into this feeble heart Cast your eyes on the ocean
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say
there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone
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
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and fire
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Please remember me
