Like mighty ships that sail the Atlantic foam
The Skellig Isles parade the Kerry Coast
It's a strange place with the needle's eye
Where shipwrecks lieWhere the king of the world rested for a while
And a place for the pilgrim, a sanctuary of timeFourteen steps to nowhere, out of solid stone
Don't lead us to the Heavens or lead us to the seaThe Vikings came to plunder and destroy
But to this day the holy relics stand
In a blind mans cove, where the wailing woman sigh
And the seagulls cry
Where the king of the world rested for a while
And a place for the pilgrim, a sanctuary of timeFourteen steps to nowhere, out of solid stone
Don't lead us to the Heavens or lead us to the seaA journey to these islands, so rare
The sound of screaming souls that fill the air
A thousand wings, against the sky
And gray seals disguised
Where the king of the world rested for a while
And a place for the pilgrim, a sanctuary of timeFourteen steps to nowhere, out of solid stone
Don't lead us to the Heavens or lead us to the sea
