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.
