Well, "Kids" there was goddess worship amongst the Druids when Christianity arrived in Ireland. I do love JC and everything, and certainly rate forgiveness as being superior to human sacrifice by hucking people into the bog, but there is something to be said for Ceridwen, goddess of the Moon. Druids still exist but are few in number.
I love it, but even knowing the translation of the lyrics does not alleviate the darkness I feel in this song. I think it's the title because for me it connects to the term Pax Romana, and how that peace was achieved. But truly, I like it better for that. Also, that it's "gods" instead of "god" makes me grin.
Frankly, I've always loved this song. XD I guess I liked the dark, dramatic tone of it. Although it did make me kind of think of some creepy cult ritual. Which the lyrics say it's not, so that's good, but yeah. I remember my family saying it sounded occult.
For those interested, the "Omnem crede diem tibi diluxisse supremum" part at 02:37 is quoted from a book from Horace called Epistles which was published between 20 BC and 14 BC.
The full quote is:
Omnem crede diem tibi diluxisse supremum. Grata superveniet, quae non sperabitur hora.
Think to yourself that every day is your last; the hour to which you do not look forward will come as a welcome surprise. Book I, epistle iv, line 13

Can you imagine what would happen if Enya paired up with Vangelis for just one song or for an album ? This song to me is the feminine counterpart of Vangelis's masculine and dominant song "The Conquest opf Paradise". I wish Enya and Vangelis paired up and united together with their muscial talents to produce a musical offspring ( album ) I was merely pondering about what could she possible produce still that would be even more out of this world than how excellent and unique she already is.
@TheBlissfulSpirit Wasn't there something they'd done together? I'm not my dream sure, but I think I remember these two names together - or maybe it was just my dream ;)
@JulietteStarfly@TheThirdlayer Well, to be more accurate, Enya did the credits song for "The Fellowship of the Ring", "May It Be", and has a bit in the song "The Council of Elrond". The music was actually done by Howard Shore. Also, fun fact, one of her songs on the album "Shepherd Moons" is called "Lothlorien" which is the fairest forest realm of the elves in "The Lord of the Rings". ...Oops, I think my nerd is showing...

Does it really matter if this song has any Pagan connections? Stop the arguing and listen to the music.

WHY SHOULD ANY OF YOU!?

She is absolutley brilliant,i think she is the most talented and best female artists on the planet.I have been a fan of hers since the late eighties.The videos and the music for films like Lord of the Rings are amazing.What more can i say!!
All this talk of religion is pointless, because it's up to the individual to make their own mind up, and nobody should try and change that opinion. Look at me - I experienced Christianity in a warped and distorted version because of my father, who was, i admit, hypocritical about his religion, and now I'm not sure whether I believe or not.As it happens, I am more than happy to believe that even if there's a God or a higher power, we humans control our own destinies
@AwesomeOliver100 It's just common sense, really. Anyone has the power to distort religion, because - whatever the Bible says about us being "made in God's image" - we ARE fallible. You don't need to think too hard to find prime examples of people with faults, and just because christianity is the dominant religion in the world doesn't mean its the ONLY religion that gives salvation. I just like to keep an open mind about it all
@supastar668 I never said that Christianity is the only religion that gives salvation. I never said we aren't fallible. What i said was if you want to argue about it, here isn't the place. When i look at the comments, i want to see comments about Enya, not what people think about other people's God/gods. I respect other religions, and have fun learning about them. People just need to learn to accept differences, and not get riled up when someone has a different opinion.
@AwesomeOliver100 And i'm not saying any of that about Christianity either. I just wanted to say that it's stupid to get riled and fired up over religious things when after all - and this isn't meant to demean Enya in ANY way - it's just a song, and a damn good one at that
You all need religion. Salvation is through Christ only. Beware of false prophets. To all the people who do not believe in God or in Christ, I pity you. You deny historical facts and prophecies. That is very unintelligent. God always wills for you lost sheeps to come back to him.
i adore enya. her music has helped me in so many ways. worship who you may but please respect that everyone has their own beliefs and opinions. be safe in your own but do not put down others. every belief is valid even if it is only for one person. be well stay safe.
Religion has been corrupt since christ's death, all religion does is benefit man more than it benefits others. Jeez roman general's back in the day were promoted to clergy, what does that say for the bible?
arguing about if GOD is real does no good . i believe in LORD JESUS HE died for me and rose from the dead. HE is DIVINE. IT has cost me nothing. it has given me hope. HE has never let me down. i fail HIM every day. on CHRIST BLOOD I STAND ALL OTHER GROUND IS SINKING SAND. Search HIM out while you can you owe HIM a hearing. we all die there is no escaping it. live and die with hope. LORD JESUS is real. HE PAID FOR IT ALL . have a nice day
christ sake can't youtube people leave religion and what people think in the real world out of this and just enjoy the music for once. think about it, what the hell are you talking about on the bloody internet lol
Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person unconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, such as to other people. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others have those feelings.
The first time i heard this back in 1995-it gave Me chills. Still does. Love 2 play this at night with candles lit lol!!! I always see an ocean in turmoil-a storm and then at 2:39 sunlight breaksthru the clouds. Awesome.
@simoncpu Each to his own dude. Everyone walks their own path. It doesn't matter what path you decide to follow, so long as you show respect to everyone and everything.
@NikkTemplar I know what you mean, this song brings back memories. I'm 28 now, but back when I was about 15 my girlfriend at the time gave me this tape. I couldn't get it out my head, I even used to fall asleep with the headphones still on listening to it.
One of my favourite enya tracks, I love how eerie and dark it starts and then becomes more enchanting and beautiful halfway through, feels like I escape out of a castle surrounded by black clouds and twisted plants then flying away past huge mountains with sunset beneath the cliffs. Of course, the song returns to the creepy theme. Sorry for babbling but it was I see in my imagination.
@anthony111isevilok no its not babbling its a song to stir the imagination . im a spiritual christian and see this song in context of the development of world events which are intesifying each year . Jesus said i will draw them out and they will fight in the battle of armageddon. but he went on to say fear not when u see this all come to pass , lift ur head up high and know ur deleverance is near . its all in gods hands this dramatic music expresses to me .
This, is for me, a thing of great beauty, it sounds as if people cast out their souls into the night, and each solum word is a shield of light that encompasses them. This song, is for me, pure omnipotents. Incredible!

Ok, can we stop the Religion wars here please? You all came here to listen to Enya, right? They why don't you listen instead of insulting each other based on beliefs. Everyone has their own opinion and thoughts on life, so accept them. Don't come on here intending to tell atheists 'go burn in Hell' or Christians that 'God isnt F*&% real!' If you can't handle the fact that everyone's different than you're not mature enough. Religion is based on choice. Respect everyone else's as much as your own.
@AwesomeOliver100 I agree with you for the most part, but your intervention is hypocritical. As you say, everyone has her/his own opinion and thoughts on life. You need to accept that it's human nature to disagree.
@cvg1099 you are both correct in your analysis however life is a gift but it is how we all choose to live it that decides our fate both in life and death
I find this song scary, not in an evil sadistic way. (I believe in God, I don't care if that means I'm Christian or whatever. I don't put myself in a group. So don't pounce. ;) ) But no, I find this scary in a good, haunting kind of way. The kind of scary you purposely seek out to get those chills. I enjoy ANYTHING Enya does.

@FIREYICEangel so indeed this song is very much referring to the latin language and the days of the Dark Ages. ''believe that each day which breaks is your last , in latin is ''memento mori'' : remember that you will die.
This in those Dark Ages was a saying used by every Christian, to remember themselves to live without any luxuries for that would not be good for them when they die. God wishes us to live a humble life. This view changed in the Renaissance into : carpe diem! Seize the day!
@jamiejoygatto you should really be ashamed for calling God that, okay maybe you disagree with the Catholic faith but I mean you dont see me calling Hindu Gods that when I disagree with their faith! never
I know this may be controversial with a title that translates as Peace of the Gods, but I do not believe Enya herself is Pagan or promoting this religion, although she celebrates her Celtic cultural heritage. And I find this song to be beautiful and empowering, fully in harmony with the Christian religion.
@starman1024 That's Athair Ar Neamh. It's not a religious song in the modern sense. It is speaking of the ancient roman tradition of Pax Deorum, meaning "Peace of the Gods." It was something that many Romans tried to achieve in their life. Enya is Catholic, but she speaks Latin. This is simply an artistic expression of Roman culture.
@Seandc100 Yes thank you for clarifying about the purpose the cultural origin of Pax Deorum. Yes, it definitely sounds Roman to me. However, you should note that Pax Deorum and Athair Ar Neamh both share a couple lines of the same lyrics, and the translation I listed actually is for Pax Deorum. Different lyric sites may list the words a bit differently, but with essentially the same meaning.
It's funny reading all the back and forth comments about this song sounding evil because the first time I listened to it, I was falling asleep with my itunes on shuffle and this song came on and scared the shit out of me! It sounded so "evil"! Probably because I was half asleep... And I don't believe in spirits and what not so I was like what the heck!??!
It's now one of my favourite Enya songs though, and I absolutely LOVE how it sounds and don't think there's anything "evil" about it.
@myuzeefreak LOL thats pretty funny.. Im sure it was a drastic change from the rest of your itunes collection. :) I find it to be a beautiful song though.
I agree with MugetsuOfExitium only I consider myself to be a Christian in truth, although for a Christian I do an awful lot of pagan rites and have said goddess or even Goddess a lot.
@braincloth Definitely agreeing with ya 100%. There are good christians out there who really are the real deal, and are not judgmental fanatical freaks who try to cram it down your throat, but unfortunately there is less and less of those every day. I am proud to be pagan, and know I walk the path right for me. How many can honestly say they are happy with the path they walk?
@MugetsuOfExitium would you rather cram it down his throat or let youre brother go to hell,PS your friends will cram it down your throat, youre enemy doesn' t have the balls to tell you the truth. sorry to be brutally honest, but that's just jesus in me.
@angel1962ism please stop trying to convert people. in case you forgot, millions have died because christianity couldn't stop throwing a jealous hissy fit.
Have you ever thought about the term "Pontifex Maximus"? The same term to designe the Roman Emperor and ...the Pope. Is this enough to understand? :-)
@MiriamSPia I'd just like to note, that alot of the people who are anti-christian have seen the ugly side of the religion, and have seen the disgusting effects generations of brainwashing does to people, or those who were born as christian, and had a wake-up call and realized that alot of the things in the bible are foul and degrading and wrong.
@MugetsuOfExitium no offence to christians or anything, but if you go in a church they all sound so brainwashed, its like a huge cult where they use psychology to make you belive things that you wouldnt otherwise. it takes someone with an open mind to get past that, i did and i'm happy im finally seeing sense. no offence to christians but if you think about it, quite a lot of whats in the bible makes no sense whatsoever...
@braincloth i am christain & i sadly agree with you....my momma & i both agree the bible was written by lonely old men who just wanted control of a country...& if you ask me(heres da worst part)a 12yr old!god-or whatever you choose to believe in put us on this earth-not to kill in his name-but to love in his name...see thats why we dont go to church! its too controlled!like you can control the love that comes outa u!instead we chose to aprieciate and care for what god put on this earth!
@john91722 You see, it's fanatical Christians like yourself that cause all the hate & dislike towards the Christian faith. Accept & understand the fact everyone is different, and your life will be for the better. Fail to see this, and you end up with a point of view in life similar to the nazi's. Where nothing is perfect unless it's what you decide it is. That is wrong on so many levels, and even you know it. Show compassion, show respect.
@MugetsuOfExitium Nothing in the Bible is foul. There are no ugly sides to Christianity. It is us, human beings that are foul. It is us that give malice to the Holy Bible. I tell you that everything is in the Bible and not all Christians are authentic Christians. Salvation is only through Christ.
@Egghead123123123 "Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up." (Hosea 13:16). I'd say that's pretty foul of God...
@SJGster God did not murder the Egyptian first-borns, he punished the Egyptians to deterr them from further evil. They would get closer to hell if they continue the evils they do. As our heavenly father, it was not easy for him to punish the Egyptians. He did what is enough and necessary. God never murders, he simply takes what he gives whenever we act like spoiled little brats. This is further proven by science. In psychology, this method is called operant conditioning. Look it up.
@Egghead123123123 Punished them by killing the first-borns? Not only is that a brutal and immoral punishment, the kids are dead for someone else's crimes. The kids are not the Pharaoh who forced the Jews to stay in Egypt, they're not the ones who ordered the Jewish newborns to be slaughtered, and if they worshipped false gods , it was only because of what the parents taught them. When you're punishing a murderer, do you kill the murderer's kid? And operant conditioning is ineffective on the dead
@SJGster How is that cruel? The kids returned to the father. They were not the ones being punished, their fathers are. God gave the Egyptians their firstborns, he simply took the firstborns away from their fathers. This was a result of their cruelty to the Israelites and their pharaoh's stubbornness. This final plague also proves God's superiority to a Pharaoh who thinks of himself as a god.
Do you think God sending his firstborn (Jesus) to die for us is immoral? This is an act of love.
@Egghead123123123 So is it ok for us as a society to punish murderers by giving painless lethal injections to their kids?
And if God is all-powerful, there should be no need for God to send Jesus down to die for us. So it was a needless and cruel thing to do, especially since Jesus's reputed death was far from painless.
@SJGster Vegeance belongs only to the Lord. did u not read the bible? Jesus told the fundamentalists that "he who is without sin cast the first stone." And before his crucifixion, Christ knew what awaits him. He experienced pain so that we wont have to in hell. God may be omnipotent but he also gave us freedom. Your logic does not make sense as it closes its eyes on the truth. The truth that God loves us.
My advice to you is that you READ the Bible. You seem to misunderstand it alot.
@MugetsuOfExitium Not everything in the Bible is meant to be some good teaching. In case you didn't notice, it is also a record of history. History tells what happened, whether what a person did was right or wrong. Yes, even many people who followed God did horrible, evil things, and suffered for it. Did God command them to do so? Of course not. He cannot command people to do what is "wrong," for He Himself is what is good. Was He happy about what evil His people did? Never. It broke His heart.
It's amazing to me how New Age fans constantly give short shrift to the music they profess to love. The likes of Vangelis, David Arkenstone, Cusco and, yes, Enya have long ago taken New Age beyond the realm of mere relaxation; of wind chimes and whale song, and put cinematic meat on the bone. Tangerine Dream has been doing it from the beginning. Steve Roach constantly surprises and delights. New Age has been refered to as "thumbsucking music". Why do its fans insist on sucking their thumbs?
No offense, but its OK if it actually IS Christian. I think most people who are anti-Christian haven't read about him at all, so they think the warfare in the Middle Ages is what it was all about or something. Anyways, this is coming from a woman who loves this song and has known and done both Christian and pagan things and has also usually known at least some atheists.
@girltube5318008 I have concluded that "the end of the world" really means, "significant political and religious changes, possibly even significant environmental changes coming up within the upcoming 50 years".
Translation:

All this talk of religion is pointless, because it's up to the individual to make their own mind up, and nobody should try and change that opinion. Look at me - I experienced Christianity in a warped and distorted version because of my father, who was, i admit, hypocritical about his religion, and now I'm not sure whether I believe or not.As it happens, I am more than happy to believe that even if there's a God or a higher power, we humans control our own destinies

@AwesomeOliver100 It's just common sense, really. Anyone has the power to distort religion, because - whatever the Bible says about us being "made in God's image" - we ARE fallible. You don't need to think too hard to find prime examples of people with faults, and just because christianity is the dominant religion in the world doesn't mean its the ONLY religion that gives salvation. I just like to keep an open mind about it all
supastar668 7 months ago
@supastar668 I never said that Christianity is the only religion that gives salvation. I never said we aren't fallible. What i said was if you want to argue about it, here isn't the place. When i look at the comments, i want to see comments about Enya, not what people think about other people's God/gods. I respect other religions, and have fun learning about them. People just need to learn to accept differences, and not get riled up when someone has a different opinion.

@AwesomeOliver100 And i'm not saying any of that about Christianity either. I just wanted to say that it's stupid to get riled and fired up over religious things when after all - and this isn't meant to demean Enya in ANY way - it's just a song, and a damn good one at that

Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person unconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, such as to other people. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others have those feelings.

One of my favourite enya tracks, I love how eerie and dark it starts and then becomes more enchanting and beautiful halfway through, feels like I escape out of a castle surrounded by black clouds and twisted plants then flying away past huge mountains with sunset beneath the cliffs. Of course, the song returns to the creepy theme. Sorry for babbling but it was I see in my imagination.

@anthony111isevilok no its not babbling its a song to stir the imagination . im a spiritual christian and see this song in context of the development of world events which are intesifying each year . Jesus said i will draw them out and they will fight in the battle of armageddon. but he went on to say fear not when u see this all come to pass , lift ur head up high and know ur deleverance is near . its all in gods hands this dramatic music expresses to me .

Everyone has their own opinion and thoughts on life, so accept them. Don't come on here intending to tell atheists 'go burn in Hell' or Christians that 'God isnt F*&% real!'

@FIREYICEangel so indeed this song is very much referring to the latin language and the days of the Dark Ages. ''believe that each day which breaks is your last , in latin is ''memento mori'' : remember that you will die.
This in those Dark Ages was a saying used by every Christian, to remember themselves to live without any luxuries for that would not be good for them when they die. God wishes us to live a humble life. This view changed in the Renaissance into : carpe diem! Seize the day!

I know this may be controversial with a title that translates as Peace of the Gods, but I do not believe Enya herself is Pagan or promoting this religion, although she celebrates her Celtic cultural heritage. And I find this song to be beautiful and empowering, fully in harmony with the Christian religion.
starman1024 1 year ago
@starman1024 That's Athair Ar Neamh. It's not a religious song in the modern sense. It is speaking of the ancient roman tradition of Pax Deorum, meaning "Peace of the Gods." It was something that many Romans tried to achieve in their life. Enya is Catholic, but she speaks Latin. This is simply an artistic expression of Roman culture.
Seandc100 1 year ago
@Seandc100 Yes thank you for clarifying about the purpose the cultural origin of Pax Deorum. Yes, it definitely sounds Roman to me. However, you should note that Pax Deorum and Athair Ar Neamh both share a couple lines of the same lyrics, and the translation I listed actually is for Pax Deorum. Different lyric sites may list the words a bit differently, but with essentially the same meaning.

@MugetsuOfExitium no offence to christians or anything, but if you go in a church they all sound so brainwashed, its like a huge cult where they use psychology to make you belive things that you wouldnt otherwise. it takes someone with an open mind to get past that, i did and i'm happy im finally seeing sense. no offence to christians but if you think about it, quite a lot of whats in the bible makes no sense whatsoever...

@SJGster God did not murder the Egyptian first-borns, he punished the Egyptians to deterr them from further evil. They would get closer to hell if they continue the evils they do. As our heavenly father, it was not easy for him to punish the Egyptians. He did what is enough and necessary. God never murders, he simply takes what he gives whenever we act like spoiled little brats. This is further proven by science. In psychology, this method is called operant conditioning. Look it up.
Egghead123123123 8 months ago
@Egghead123123123 Punished them by killing the first-borns? Not only is that a brutal and immoral punishment, the kids are dead for someone else's crimes. The kids are not the Pharaoh who forced the Jews to stay in Egypt, they're not the ones who ordered the Jewish newborns to be slaughtered, and if they worshipped false gods , it was only because of what the parents taught them. When you're punishing a murderer, do you kill the murderer's kid? And operant conditioning is ineffective on the dead
SJGster 8 months ago
@SJGster How is that cruel? The kids returned to the father. They were not the ones being punished, their fathers are. God gave the Egyptians their firstborns, he simply took the firstborns away from their fathers. This was a result of their cruelty to the Israelites and their pharaoh's stubbornness. This final plague also proves God's superiority to a Pharaoh who thinks of himself as a god.
Do you think God sending his firstborn (Jesus) to die for us is immoral? This is an act of love.
Egghead123123123 8 months ago
@Egghead123123123 So is it ok for us as a society to punish murderers by giving painless lethal injections to their kids?
And if God is all-powerful, there should be no need for God to send Jesus down to die for us. So it was a needless and cruel thing to do, especially since Jesus's reputed death was far from painless.

@SJGster Vegeance belongs only to the Lord. did u not read the bible? Jesus told the fundamentalists that "he who is without sin cast the first stone." And before his crucifixion, Christ knew what awaits him. He experienced pain so that we wont have to in hell. God may be omnipotent but he also gave us freedom. Your logic does not make sense as it closes its eyes on the truth. The truth that God loves us.
My advice to you is that you READ the Bible. You seem to misunderstand it alot.
Egghead123123123 7 months ago
@MugetsuOfExitium Not everything in the Bible is meant to be some good teaching. In case you didn't notice, it is also a record of history. History tells what happened, whether what a person did was right or wrong. Yes, even many people who followed God did horrible, evil things, and suffered for it. Did God command them to do so? Of course not. He cannot command people to do what is "wrong," for He Himself is what is good. Was He happy about what evil His people did? Never. It broke His heart.

It's amazing to me how New Age fans constantly give short shrift to the music they profess to love. The likes of Vangelis, David Arkenstone, Cusco and, yes, Enya have long ago taken New Age beyond the realm of mere relaxation; of wind chimes and whale song, and put cinematic meat on the bone. Tangerine Dream has been doing it from the beginning. Steve Roach constantly surprises and delights. New Age has been refered to as "thumbsucking music". Why do its fans insist on sucking their thumbs?
