Brendan Perry Voyage Of Bran Lyrics

Voyage Of Bran 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
