This is what I gather from "On My Heart": On my heart, the nights are drawing in Above, the stars are spiralling And heaven and earth are roaming in a spin Memories of light and laughter Hope and peace from far here after {???}... wings of angels from a dream On my heart, the nights are drawing in Above, the stars are spiralling And heaven and earth are roaming in a spin -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Nov. 17 2007, 19:33 Sixth line on OmH: "Oh, in Heaven, wings of angels from a dream". And the supposed "spin"... upon a new listening, yes, it's indeed "sphere". Very fitting. As for Aurora, the lyrics are in Latin: Aurora Borealis, Lux æterna luceat eis. Aurora, Aurora, Aurora Borealis Lux æterna, lux æterna, lux æterna luceat eis. Aurora Borealis, Lux æterna luceat eis. Aurora Borealis is the Northern Lights. "Lux æterna luceat eis" is taken from the Requiem prayer, it means "Eternal light may shine for them" and is used completely out of context here, just for its sound - not for its meaning.   There are also Latin lyrics in the end of Shabda, which are repeated later on during Harmonia Mundi. I cannot make these out; I only got the third line - "Lux æterna dona nobis" - which is  a combination of the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) and Requiem prayers, and means "Give unto us eternal light". -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
