Skyclad - Isle of Jura

All around me strangers scurry - In a crowd but all alone. Got to hurry - pack my worries, Feel the arms that I call home. I am lonely - I am lost, inside my private holocaust. Chorus: O’ steel angel please carry me - Fly me to my love, From cold Earth far beneath me - To the Heavens high above. All aboard but flying so-low, (Chocks away) the engines start. Crossing oceans of emotion that circumnavigate my heart. Have you ever talked with someone, Not recalled a single word? The gentle rhythm of the humdrum, It was the only sound I heard. Why was I not so astute as to stow my dreams a parachute? Chorus: O’ steel angel please carry me - Fly me to my love, From cold Earth far beneath me - To the Heavens high above. It seems they never sensed how time was passing, Deep in the silence and the cold. Sat living, breathing, drinking, laughing - While Death lay sleeping in the hold. Then my eyes beheld a vision, A beauty brighter than the starts. One single spark - and the ignition, Bathe my flesh and heal the scars. The hand that dared to touch god’s knife, But ’Isle of Jura’ - I love life. Chorus: O’ steel angel please carry me - Fly me to my love, From cold Earth far beneath me - To the Heavens high above.
