Lyrics
Father, Father
Can you tell me
Where the hours go?
Where time flows?
Is it written in the stars?
Upon the milky way
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
Writer(s): Brendan Michael Perry
