I think Liliy is actually a real person; she is mentioned in the thanklist.

But a great song indeed. Reminds me, in a strange way, of the Martin Allcock 
album.

BTW does anyone know the source of the narration at the start of the song? 
Is it pagan or Christian? As far as I know it could easily be either. (shows 
just how ignorant I am, really)
