Artist/Band: Clannad
Lyrics for Song: Skelling
Lyrics for Album: 3 Originals [2011]



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
