Letra de 'The Serpent And The Dove' de Lisa Gerrard

Once there was a secret union
A serpent and a dove
Enchanted by their beauty
They found a perfect love

Although the garden was lost to them
They sought a purity
They're shown by the sunlight
A gate into the sea
A home there to be

There they lived beyond all reason
Acquainted by their dreams
But one in true affection
Their souls would be redeemed

The dolphin song
Fell sweetly on their ears
In sacred tears
They called for our saviour
To cast away their fears
They prayed there for years

Once there was a sacred union
A dolphin and a whale
The purity within them
No other could avail

The song incited a peace
Within their frail and gentle ways
They softly embraced us
And sought the souls of sails
They praised us in vain

Once there was a magic union
A beetle and a frog
Their songs were so enchanted
They mystified the fog

Although their singing
Was not the sweetest sound
They called the morning
And bore up a guardianship
On those unborn
Hence, warning
Transcending dreams

There was a frightening union
A sailor and a gun
They sought to seize them
And murdered just for fun

All their laughter
Bore tears to those afraid
They slayed, and dared
That others would seize them
And leave them cold and scared
They wasted
And murdered
They wasted
And orphaned
