About the song
Roma suggested writing a language in order to make the warm vowel sounds I wanted. She started putting stories behind it so I knew what I was singing about, and Roma felt the Celts became the Loxian people. On the new album The Forge of Angels is the name of their spaceship and Loxian Gates are what surrounds the planet. This is in the future, of course, so we don’t actually know what planet they end up on.Enya for Buzzfeed, 2015

English translation of the Loxian
Through the gates of night
there is wisdom is waiting to be found…
That first place of night
was an island in the colour of stars.
Spring;
green grew and the flowers blossomed.
…a lost time, for in the distance…
Summer;
the sun and the sand,
Autumn;
the shape of yellow leaves falling.
…a lost time, far in the distance…
Winter;
the sky sang snow.
Written into the night;
a world of stars.
…a lost time, for in the distance…
Now, is the season of water;
the island, the cities, the darkness.
Through time this became our world,
but our quest is not yet over.
Now, is the season of the moon;
soft breezes whispering,
night and day.
But our quest is not yet over.
