Ullyses

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 the open sea

On an odyssey

of self-discovery
