Voyage of Bran - Brendan Perry

Father, father

Can you tell me

Where the hours go?

Where time flows?

Is it written in the stars

Upon the milky way

That we must burn bright

Before we fade away?

Mother, mother

Can you tell me

Where the fire goes

When the flames cease?

"From the ashes

To the astral plain

Where the setting sun

Meets the sea, Brendan"

I live by the river

Where the old gods still dream

Of inner communion

With the open sea

Through the eye of a hunter

In search of a prey

Neither beast nor human

In my philosophy

If you don't recognise me

Well, it's simply because

I've outgrown these old clothes

Time to move on

For you and I will outlive

The masks life gave us

When this shadowplay comes

To a close
