Brendan Perry - Voyage Of Bran

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 recognize 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 shadow play comes
To a close.
