Ullyses Lyrics
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
And embrace the light.
You have slept now
For a thousand years
Beneath starless nights.
And now its time for you
To renounce the old ways
And see a new dawn rise.
In former days
The masks were raised
When the god came down
From off the mountain,
And a sacrifice was made
For they knew the day of wrath
Was fast apporaching.
Just like yesterday, before the war
John francis dooley
The scapegoat has run
All our sins are disowned,
And now it's time for you
To take off thy mask
And cross the rubicon.
If you and i were one
Within the eyes of our designs
It would still not change
The fact of our leaving.
For tonight we must leave
With the first gentle breeze
For the isles of ken we are assailing
Just like ullyses, on an open sea.
On an oddysey of self discovery
I can listen to this son g on repeat for freakin ever. Epic soothing and exhilarting. I always feel as though I am starting a journey.
This song is wondrous. It means so much to me, and it sounds like an eternal carnival.
So bittersweet, it always brings tears to my eyes.
Today is 2023JUNE23, Saturday. I consider myself a big fan of DCD. I came to this website in hopes of understanding the lyrics better, but there’s nothing definitive, nothing like I hoped here. Nevertheless, I’m compelled to share my thoughts with, well, you. Sup?
This rhythmic song makes me imagine a combat-worn soldier from centuries ago, walking back home alone through mountainous terrain. (There is no real person named “John Francis Dooley,” according to my brief, superficial search online, by the way.) I mean, like the song name, I have that sort of imagery floating in my head, like in the classic Ulysses story.
When the bigger, orchestral strings come in those two times during the song, in a chorus-like way, it really captures me. That’s kinda the best part, in my opinion.
I was also hoping to find if there are any lyrics/words for the first vocalist. It’s fairly creepy. My wife instantly thought the same thing when I shared it with her earlier today, with the exception that she, with a frantic countenance, also thought that it could be satanic. But I accept it as a “scatting vocalization” that has no literal meaning, and no real purpose other than to create a moody tension and some musical contrast to the lead singer! I told my wife I think it has a place in a soundtrack of a suspenseful movie.
I wonder how many years will pass before somebody reads MY Cincinnati comment? haha Thank you for reading! Have a great day!
[Edit: Had add some tidbits I forgot to mention.]
