Ages Past, Ages Hence - Loreena McKennitt

Ancient castles and climbing cliffs

Summoned by the sea

Windswept shores and crashing waves

Rages furiously

Twisting trees of truth

Stand huddled watchingly

Oh, ages past, ages hence

Pages turned carefully

Ages past, ages hence

Pages turned carefully

What picked smile has touched your lips?

What melody so sweet

Soothed your breast, your beating heart?

The underworld gone to sleep

Twisting trees of truth

Stand huddled watchingly

Oh, ages past, ages hence

Pages turned carefully

Ages past, ages hence

Pages turned carefully

Into the clutches of night

I can see the torchlight shine bright

The gates are drawn

The hands sit still

There’s laughter that bubbles within

Down bend the trees quietly witnessing

Man’s journey into himself

Ever turning, ever churning, clutching the waves

This wealth

Yearning the fast, never quench it

Tumble the thoughts

Until they lie like petals on the ground

Gathered by wind stretched through the trees

To the whispering side

Ancient castles and climbing cliffs

Summoned by the sea

Windswept shores and crashing waves

Rages furiously

Twisting trees of truth

Stand huddled watchingly

Oh, ages past, ages hence

Pages turned carefully

Ages past, ages hence

Pages turned carefully

Ages past, ages hence
