[TRANSLATION]
* Deep ...deep ...somewhere in the depth ...there is light!

The choral parts were inspired by the Georgian song 'Tsintskaro'
that Kate had heard used in Werner Herzog's re-make of 'Nosferatu'.
It's not clear what the lyrics are, but the arranger, Richard Hickox,
discussed using a made-up language and Kate seemed to like the idea.
