"Ulysses"

John Francis Dooley
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
And embrace the light
You have slept now
For a thousand years
Beneath starless nights
And now it's time for you
To renounce the old ways
And see a new dawn rise

In former days
Masks were raised
When the god came down
From above the mountain
And the sacrifice was made
For he knew the day of wrath
Was fast approaching
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 your 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 Ulysses
On an open sea
On an odyssey
Of self discovery

[22:16, 15/11/2016] Javier Farrugia:  
                     
Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the book.

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the book.

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.

Viejos piratas, sí, me robaron                        
Me vendieron a las naves mercantes                        
Minutos después de atraparme, me llevaron al pozo sin fondo.                        
Pero a mi mano la hizo firme la del Altísimo.                        
Avanzamos triunfantes, en esta generación.      

¿No me vas a ayudar a cantar
estas canciones de libertad?                        
Porque sólo, siempre,
lo único que he tenido, son:
canciones de Redención.                        
canciones de Redención.                       
                             
Emancipaos, vosotros mismos, de la esclavitud mental;
Sólo nosotros mismos podemos liberar nuestras mentes
No temas nada a la energía atómica,
Porque ninguno de ellos puede parar el tiempo.
A cuántos más de nuestros profetas tienen que matar,
mientras nos apartamos a mirar? Ooh!
Algunos dicen que es parte de lo mismo:
Tenemos que cumplir el libro.

¿No me vas a ayudar a cantar estas canciones de libertad?
