I have a horrible habit of getting hooked on random bands, I've noticed. Especially foreign ones.
My dad got this video emailed to him, of a bunch of airliners trying to land on the world's windiest runway, in New Zealand. (they have to be some damn good pilots. those planes were landing sideways!). Anyway, they had what sounded like Irish rock music playing along with the video.
I got curious, looked up the band name... turns out they're French, but that doesn't matter. They're still pretty awesome. =]
I found the actual music video for the song on Youtube, and now it's my new multimedia. Whoot.
The first set of lyrics are of course, the original lyrics. The second are supposed to be the translation. I'm not sure if it's right or not.

I prayed for something I could never understand The Sword of Shiva to deliver me to unimagined lands. And there you were
I asked for something that could catch me by surprise To leap into the belly of the beast to rip me up and bring me out alive And there you were
Into your eyes I'm falling rain Into your eyes A hurricane Into your eyes I'm coming home I'm holding on I'm letting go
Oh, I'm flying free O'er the land of the prophecy All my future below Oh, I pledge my life All I am to be by your side Then you whisper that all you need of me Is Just to Breathe
Initiation to the wisdom of the heart An invocation know to humble men And tear their worlds apart And there you were
I prayed every night n'day for something to believe Some brand of magic that could lift me up and bring me to my knees And there you were
Into your eyes I'm falling rain Into your eyes A hurricane Into your eyes I'm coming home I'm holding on I'm letting go
Oh, I'm flying free O'er the land of the prophecy All my future below Oh, I pledge my life All I am to be by your side Sworn to love you as long as I shall breathe
In every other lover's eyes Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, all your life In the line of duty we can never do enough I am surrendered I am ascended on love
I'm flying free O'er the land of the prophecy All of my future before my eyes and Oh, I pledge my life All I am to be by your side Come and take me home
Oh my father's son New reborn as the chosen one Now he kneels at your feet Oh, I pledge my life All I am to be by your side Come and take me home.
