Ulysses lyrics

Artist  : Dead Can Dance 
Song : Ulysses



 Send "Ulysses" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
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 to 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 that 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 Ulysses on the
open sea

On an odyssey of self-discovery
