*found lyrics:

DEAD CAN DANCE * Emmeleia
I. Sota mono tratao no trateja mon
uto traja satija totaja tom
ima toja satao no trateja mon
uto traja satija tom, satija tom
sadom sadom
sadom sadom

Una torti sadom
Una parki sadom

II. Suta mono tratao na trateja ton
uto traja satija totaja ton
Ima toja satao uno trateja ton
uto traja satija tom, satija tom
sadom sadom
sadom, sadom

Una torti sadom
Una parki sadom

Thanks for the reminder. I fell in love with Haida art while in Vancouver. Have you seen this sculpture of Raven with the first men?

The picture doesn't even begin to do the work justice, unfortunately.

Thank you! The first picture was impressive, but then I saw the one of the artist sitting on the sculpture. Um -- it's huge!
