Ullyses Lyrics - The Serpent's Egg - Dead Can Dance

John francis dooley 

Wipe the sleep from your eyes 

And embrace the light. 

You have slept now 

For a thousand years 

Beneath starless nights. 

And now its time for you 

To renounce the old ways 

And see a new dawn rise. 

In former days 

The masks were raised 

When the god came down 

From off the mountain, 

And a sacrifice was made 

For they knew the day of wrath 

Was fast apporaching. 

Just like yesterday, before the war 

John francis dooley 

The scapegoat has run 

All our sins are disowned, 

And now it's time for you 

To take off thy mask 

And cross the rubicon. 

If you and i were one 

Within the eyes of our designs 

It would still not change 

The fact of our leaving. 

For tonight we must leave 

With the first gentle breeze 

For the isles of ken we are assailing 

Just like ullyses, on an open sea. 

On an oddysey of self discovery
