Jon Anderson a conlanger?

Hallo!

Those who say that Freddie Mercury was the best rock singer
of all times probably don't know who Jon Anderson is.
I have never ever heard another voice like his.

In the lyrics of Jon Anderson's solo album _Olias of Sunhillow_
(1976) I found the following:

DO GA DO RIYTAN SHA TOO RAYTAN

GAN MATTA SHA PA
MUTTO MATTO

RADAN ATTO RADDAN ATTO
STOU TO MUTTO SHA GO TEKA
SHA GO TEKA DEI

Does anyone have an idea what language that is, or did Jon
make it all up?  A conlang would make perfect sense, since
it's a tale of refugees from a doomed planet.

Greetings,

Jörg.
