Ulysses [French translation]

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 to 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 that 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 the open sea

On an odyssey of self-discovery
