Vellum - Clannad

Elemental curse to light a candle to

Turning darkness into light

Ancient hymns will light the words to come

Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum

Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum…

Sacred words still speaking

To bring the message from the annals

Age-old meaning, answers for all times

Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum

Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum

Book of vellum, book of vellum…

Sacred signs and symbols are painted there to find

Angels weeping, devils creeping on the margins of my mind

Soar with the eagle;

the ox is standing on your page

The blind and the learned walk together (adoremus vellum)

To learn sacred things…

Vellum, vellum, adoremus vellum…
