Dante’s Prayer

This is Loreena McKennitt singing Dante’s Prayer, from “The Book of Secrets” Album. This is a live recording, and she introduces the song. She explains how it came from an experience of travelling across the desolate landscape of Siberia on a train, and reading Dante’s Inferno. She captures despair and desolation incredibly well.

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
