And the life that makes us what we are
Is the life that burns in every star
Will it be
That our legacy
Is just the dead machines of a senseless World? And we must remember who we are
If the Earth's to breathe and smooth the scar
What can you expect to do
When the life that feeds is felled or furled And the life that makes us what we are
Is the life that burns in every star
Will it be
That our legacy
Is just the dead machines of a senseless World? And we must remember who we are
If the Earth's to breathe and smooth the scar
What can you expect to do
When the life that feeds is felled or furled This is our one chance
To restore the equilibrium
This is our one chance
As we move to the millennium To the millennium We must remember who we are
We must remember who we are
We must remember who we are
Who we are We must remember who we are
We must remember who we are
We must remember who we are
Who we are To the millennium Remember In the night sky I see your true name
"We are stardust" you would say
And on the wind and in the flame
Is the dust that claims us in the end In the dream I see where you are now
Living in the possibility somehow
And all there is is that we dared
To uphold the vision that we shared We must remember who we are
We must remember who we are
We must remember who we are
Who we are We must remember who we are
Remember
Who we are
We must remember who we are
We must remember who we are
Who we are And the life that makes us what we are
Is the life that burns in every star
And the life that makes us what we are
Is the life that burns in every star Remember And the life that makes us what we are
Is the life that burns in every star
And the life that makes us what we are
Is the life that burns in every star
And the life
And the life

Remember (To The Millennium).
[Original Mix] Post Scriptum Вообще, такой музыки очень мало в творчестве человечества. Большинство поют о каких-то бытовых мелочах. Такую музыку, как эта, нужно ещё поискать... Очень необычно сделана обложка одного из дисков. Те, кто создали этот музыкальный шедевр (вместе с ремиксом от Lange) явно в том или ином виде соответствовали загадочному изображению на этой обложке...
В мифологии ирландских кельтов Морриган была одной из целой группы ирландских богинь-воительниц. Её можно воспринимать и как отдельное божество, и как своего рода триипостасную богиню. Сама богиня участия в битвах не принимала, но непременно присутствовала на поле боя и использовала всё своё могущество, чтобы помочь той или иной стороне. Морриган также ассоциировалась с сексуальным началом и плодовитостью; последний аспект позволяет отождествлять её с матерью-богиней. Кроме того, Морриган в легендах приписывается дар пророчества и способность изрекать всевозможные заклинания. В качестве богини-воительницы она помогла богам Туата Де Данаан на поле боя в обеих битвах при Маг Туиред. Её сексуальность подчеркнута в легенде о Кухулине, когда она пыталась соблазнить героя, но была отвергнута им, отчего в её сердце вспыхнула ревнивая ненависть к Кухулину. Морриган известна и способностью менять свой облик. Так, она часто принимает облик ворона или вороны. В день прибытия клана Туатха де Данаан на землю Ирландии Морриган, Бадб и Маха решили прибегнуть к помощи тех магических познаний, которыми они овладели в бытность в Финиасе, Гориасе, Муриасе и Фалиасе. Они рассеяли «дожди и густые непроницаемые „друидические“ туманы» по всем землям Ирландии, под воздействием которых на людей клана Фир Болг прямо из воздуха хлынули огонь и кровь, так что бедным туземцам пришлось три дня и три ночи прятаться в глухих убежищах.
The Morrígan ("phantom queen") or Mórrígan ("great queen"), also written as Morrígu or in the plural as Morrígna, and spelled Morríghan or Mór-ríoghain in Modern Irish, is a figure from Irish mythology who appears to have been considered a goddess, although she is not explicitly referred to as such in the texts. The Morrígan is a goddess of battle, strife, and sovereignty. She sometimes appears in the form of a crow, flying above the warriors, and in the Ulster Cycle she also takes the forms of an eel, a wolf and a cow. She is generally considered a war deity comparable with the Germanic Valkyries, although her association with a cow may also suggest a role connected with wealth and the land. She is often depicted as a trio of goddesses, all sisters.[1][2][3] Although membership of the triad varies, the most common combinations are Badb, Macha and Nemain,[4] or Badb, Macha and Anand; Anand is also given as an alternate name for Morrigu.[5] Other accounts name Fea, and others.[4] There is some disagreement over the meaning of the Morrígan's name. Mor may derive from an Indo-European root connoting terror or monstrousness, cognate with the Old English maere (which survives in the modern English word "nightmare") and the Scandinavian mara and the Old Russian "mara" ("nightmare");[6] while rígan translates as 'queen'.[7] This can be reconstructed in Proto-Celtic as *Moro-rīganī-s.[8] Accordingly, Morrígan is often translated as "Phantom Queen". This is the derivation generally favoured in current scholarship.[9] In the Middle Irish period the name is often spelled Mórrígan with a lengthening diacritic over the 'o', seemingly intended to mean "Great Queen" (Old Irish mór, 'great';[10] this would derive from a hypothetical Proto-Celtic *Māra Rīganī-s).[11] Whitley Stokes believed this latter spelling was due to a false etymology popular at the time.[12] There have also been attempts by modern writers to link the Morrígan with the Welsh literary figure Morgan le Fay from Arthurian romance, in whose name 'mor' may derive from a Welsh word for 'sea', but the names are derived from different cultures and branches of the Celtic linguistic tree.[13]
