Lavinia Lyrics

Sea white stone, on the beach near home

See a moon in the blue sky all alone

She saw the ships

Coming over the waves She felt her heartbeat when she saw his face

Ah Lavinia, your voice wasn't heard

You saw it all, flying like a bird

You found your heart upon the sea

You held on to your dreams

Aeneas came, to meet the king

They exchanged gifts, a sign of friendship and peace

Gives his daughter's hand, to marry this man The oracle spoke of your promised land

The queen wasn't happy

Stole Lavinia away

To the fig tree spring in the hills

The women got drunk

Word was sent

Young king Turnus to secretly marry

Ah Lavinia, your voice wasn't heard

You saw it all, flying like a bird

You found your heart upon the sea

You held on to your dreams

In the middle of the night She escaped

Into the forest where she was safe

Found a sacred place

In Albunea

Whilst she slept, the spirits were near

The Trojans shot a stag

In the woods that night The deer were sacred taking flight

The people fought the hunters

At Villia Ridge

Turnus used this quarrel to raise the country's fist

Ah Lavinia, your voice wasn't heard

You saw it all, flying like a bird

You found your heart upon the sea

You held on to your dreams

Turnus moved fast

And burnt their ships

He opened the war gate

Against the King's wish

Lavinia returns and worships at the shrine

She helps the wounded as they come inside

Ah Lavinia, your voice wasn't heard

You saw it all, flying like a bird

You found your heart upon the sea

You held on to your dreams

Turnus agrees to meet Aeneas

They set up an altar and make a sacrifice

Geese fly by

An eagle kills one

The others attack the eagle

This peace was undone

War ensues

Turnus dies

At the hand of Aeneas

He ends his battle cries

Aeneas meets the king

The alliance still stands He brings his Gods and Lavinia holds them in her hand

Ah Lavinia, your voice wasn't heard

You saw it all, flying like a bird

You found your heart upon the sea

You held on to your dreams

Ah Lavinia, your voice wasn't heard

You saw it all, flying like a bird

You found your heart upon the sea

You held on to your dreams
