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
