LYRICS & LINER NOTES
All lyrics and liner notes are written by Enya's long-time
friend and collaborator Roma Ryan. Inspired by Tolkien's Sindarin and Quenya
she created the fictional language Loxian featured on Amarantine.
If you want to find out more about the Loxians, visit the Cities of Constellations: The Valley
& The Heights or get her book
Water Shows The Hidden Heart.
Roma often makes references to classical mythology, Celtic legends or different flowers.
