The Mechanisms - 'Sunrise' lyrics

Artist: The Mechanisms

album: Ulysses Dies at Dawn


And just like that it's over
The Suits lie dead or dying
Daedalus is alive, but in no state to move
And it won't be long before Ulysses joins the rest of them
Limping over to the door
Our hero types in seven letters: ELYSIUM
The door slides open and reveals the rich green leaves of a tree
Standing sunlit in a golden field
Daedalus doesn't understand
Can't understand
How a young Ulysses found the last
Relic of the natural world and hid it
Leaving only a thin passage up to
The surface to let in the dawn's light
The naïve hope that it might become a symbol
Of finality and freedom from the Acheron's grasp
The loss of Penelope
Buried here as the first to once again die a true death
Hades could have told Daedalus, if he'd thought to ask
But it's too late now
Thoughts of revolution are long gone
And Ulysses now simply seeks to rest
The vault door closes, never to reopen
And as the weary hound, once more at its master's feet after so long
Lays down with the sunlight warming its fur, breathing its last
Even so did the eyes of Ulysses close forever
