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 assailing
|
|
Just like Ullyses
|
On an open sea
|
On an odyssey
|
Of self discovery
|
