Brendan Perry — Voyage Of Bran lyrics

Lyrics

Father father
Can you tell me Where the hours go Where time flows?
It is 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 the 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
