Chorus
Oh, take me to the land of passages
Gliding on a distant sea
Set me down beside the sunset-shadowed sky
To dwell where the eagles fly
Far away I see the gleaming peaks
Hov'ring high above the earth
Silently, in stately majesty
They will usher out the sunset fading north
Rank on rank, the sombre cedar trees
March away their endless mile
Evergreen, where sight has never seen
They cover every hill and clothe each solitary isle
Chorus
>From the shore the ravens call my name
Dusky wings, they wheel and whirl
Raucous cries, their haunting lullabies,
Like the ancient voices from another world
Scarlet flames the brilliant columbine
Sapphire spears the lupine blue
Buttercups and silver fairy drops
Weave a fragrant carpet glist'ning in the early morning dew
Interlude/Chorus
>From the deep, the great leviathan
Points his brow into the air
Crystal white, it breathes a fountain bright;
Then it plunges back, it's fanning flukes obscure
Icy blue, the glacier's sculpted cliffs
Crumble down into the bay
Floating ice, a seal's paradise-
And the thund'ring echoes' dialogue will finally fade away
Chorus
