Beneath a Phrygian Sky - Live

The moonlight, it was dancing on the waves out on the sea
The stars of heaven hovered in a shimmering galaxy
And a voice from down the ages, so haunting in its song
These ancient stones will tell us our love must make us strong

The breeze, it wrapped around me and I stood there on the shore
And listened to this voice like I never heard before
Our battles, they may find us, no choice may ours to be
But hold the banner proudly and the truth will set us free

My mind was called across the years of rages and of strife
And all the human misery and all the waste of life
We wondered where our God was in the face of so much pain
And I looked up to the star above to find You once again

We travelled the wide oceans, heard many call Your name
With sword and gun and hatred it all seemed much the same
Some used Your name for glory, some used It for their gain
When liberty lay wanting, no lives were lost in vain

Is it not our place to wonder as the sky does weep with tears
And all the living creatures look on with mortal fear?
It's ours to hold the banner, it's ours to hold it long
It's ours to carry forward and our love must make us strong

The haste of morn wind carried its song into the night
I closed my eyes and tarried until the morning light
As the last star, it shimmered and the new sun's day gave birth
It was in this magic moment came this prayer for Mother Earth

The moonlight, it was dancing on the waves out on the sea
The stars of heaven hovered in a shimmering galaxy
And a voice from down the ages, so haunting in its song
These ancient stones will tell us our love must make us strong
