DANTE'S PRAYER
MUSIC AND LYRICS: LOREENA MCKENNITT


	WHEN THE DARK WOOD FELL BEFORE ME
	AND ALL THE PATHS WERE OVERGROWN
	WHEN THE PRIESTS OF PRIDE  SAY THERE IS NO OTHER WAY
	I TILLED THE SORROWS OF STONE.
Benton and Jonny watch as Rachel's coffin is lowered into the ground
        I DID NOT BELIEVE BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE
	THOUGH YOU CAME TO ME IN THE NIGHT
Rachel wakes Benton up in the middle of the night, and takes him outside.
	WHEN THE DAWN SEEMED FOREVER LOST
	YOU SHOWED ME YOUR LOVE IN THE LIGHT OF THE STARS.
She points out constellations to him. And they make love under the
stars.
	CAST YOUR EYES ON THE OCEAN
	CAST YOUR SOUL TO THE SEA
	WHEN THE DARK NIGHT SEEMS ENDLESS
	PLEASE REMEMBER ME.
They sit on the beach and watch the moonlight hit the sea.
	THEN THE MOUNTAIN ROSE BEFORE ME
	BY THE DEEP WELL OF DESIRE
	FROM THE FOUNTAIN OF FORGIVENESS
	BEYOND THE ICE AND THE FIRE.
Benton starts throwing things around in his lab, after the funeral. How
can he live without her.
	CAST YOUR EYES ON THE OCEAN
	CAST YOUR SOUL TO THE SEA
He stands at the edge of the cliff overlooking the sea.  When he sees a
familiar form on the beach.
	WHEN THE DARK NIGHT SEEMS ENDLESS
	PLEASE REMEMBER ME.
He races down to catch her, but she is already gone. Her sent still
floating in the wind.
	THOUGH WE SHARE THIS HUMBLE PATH, ALONE
Benton sits on the beach. How can he do this alone.
	HOW FRAGILE IS THE HEART
He had never experienced such pain. He looks at the cliff, overlooking
the sea.
	OH GIVE THESE CLAY FEET WINGS TO FLY
	TO TOUCH THE FACE OF THE STARS.
The cliff looked like it could almost touch the stars. So he could touch
her again.
	BREATHE LIFE INTO THIS FEEBLE HEART
How could he go on. "Rachel! Help me." He cries.
	LIFT THIS MORTAL VEIL OF FEAR
	TAKE THESE CRUMBLED HOPES, ETCHED WITH TEARS
	WE'LL RISE ABOVE THESE EARTHLY CARES. 
Then he sees Jonny, as if to answer him. There she was in that small boy.
	CAST YOUR EYES ON THE OCEAN
	CAST YOUR SOUL TO THE SEA
Benton sits alone on the cliff watching the sea.
	WHEN THE DARK NIGHT SEEMS ENDLESS
	PLEASE REMEMBER ME.
Jonny sits beside him, enjoying what his mother loved.
