Dead Can Dance - Ulysses lyrics

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 it's time for you To renounce the old ways And see a new dawn rise In former days Masks were raised When the god came down From off of the mountain And the sacrifice was made For he knew the day of wrath Was fast approaching 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 your 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 a**ailing Just like Ullyses On an open sea On an odyssey Of self discovery
