Gaia By Faun (a German neo-pagan folk band)
Gaían pamm´äteiran a-eísomai
(ä-üthémethlon presbístan,
h`ä phérbei epi chtonì panth`hopós estín; )
ämèn hósa chthóna dían epérchetai äd hósa pónton,
äd hósa potontaí, táde phérbetai ek séthen ólbu.
chaíre theon m´ätär,
áloch Ùranu astero-éntos
----
It looks something like Elvish, but I'm still not sure, anybody have any ideas? Could it be Greek? |

Looks like a conlang based off of Greek. Beyond that, I can't say anything.

Well, I certainly don't think that it's a natlang. But like TF said, it looks sort of greek in nature.

| I don't think that Faun used any conlangs, but I may be wrong, they used Icelandic, Spanish and German before so I don't think we should rule out natlangs. |

I don't think it's a natlang, I'm unaware of any natlang that looks so much like Greek without actually being Greek. I don't think it's Greek because Greek doesn't use anything like what ä might represent.

| Okay, right now, I'm leaning to the Celtic/Gaelic side... |

Looks like Irish Gaelic to me.

Definitely not the written form. And sounding it out, I don't recognize any words. Agus tá focail go leor na Gaeilge agam. (And I know enough Gaelic words.)

No, it has to be some kind of Greek something. It's got enough words:
gaia (ge)
estin
-mai
epi
-tai
ek
theos
ouranos
