Dead Can Dance - Ullyses Lyrics
John francis dooleyWipe the sleep from your eyesAnd embrace the light.You have slept nowFor a thousand yearsBeneath starless nights.And now its time for youTo renounce the old waysAnd see a new dawn rise.In former daysThe masks were raisedWhen the God came downFrom off the mountain,And a sacrifice was madeFor they knew the day of wrathWas fast apporaching.Just like yesterday, before the warJohn francis dooleyThe scapegoat has runAll our sins are disowned,And now its time for youTo take off thy maskAnd cross the rubicon.If you and I were oneWithin the eyes of our designsIt would still not changeThe fact of our leaving.For tonight we must leaveWith the first gentle breezeFor the isles of ken we are assailingJust like ullyses, on an open sea.On an oddysey of self discovery.
