Dead Can Dance Lyrics

Album: Spleen and Ideal

Brave your heart Lyrics

Sail to the stars on your shining desires

Reasons there are none

Try the whisky made of grain

When all is said and done

It all amounts to just the same

There in your starry eyes lie hopes that have

been betrayed

The cause of your desire

Can also lead to your demise

When all is said and done

It will be you who pays the price

As countless fools are often loathe to testify

Its an illusion of life

The whole cause of our demise

Sail to the stars on your shining desires

Lucretia waits in vain

For the child of her dreams

Within her aching womb

There burns a funeral pyre

There in your starry eyes lie hopes that have

been betrayed

The prize that you claim

Can never be yours to take

Like castles in Spain

Hope is all that will remain

Abstain from the fools paradise

It's an illusion of life

The whole cause of our desires

Fools are often loathe to testify

It's an illusion of life

The whole cause of our demise

Contemplate the world

And its traitors to the soul

The forces of derision

And its legions manifold

Usurpers of the crown

All pretenders to the throne

Your world has lived in chains

All in one, one in all (x9)

Fools are often loathe to testify

It's an illusion of life

The whole cause of our demise

It's an illusion of life (x4)
