Skelling lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Skelling lyrics Like mighty ships that sail atlantic foam The skelling 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 song lyrics
