Like mighty ships that sail atlantic foam The skellig isles parade the kerry coast It's a strange place With a needle's eye Where shipwrecks lie Chorus Where the king of the world Rested for a while And a place for the pilgrim A sanctuary of time Fourteen steps to nowhere Out of solid stone Don't lead us to the heavens Or lead us to the sea The vikings came to plunder and destroy But to this day the holy relics stand In a blind mans cove Where the wailing woman sighs And the seagulls cry Chorus A journey to these islands so rare The sound of screaming souls that fill the air A thousand wings Against the sky And grey seal's disguised Chorus
