Elysian Fields Live by The Mechanisms Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Ulysses]
Elysian Fields stretch out before me
Sunlight dapples through the leaves
Of the sole surviving oak tree
As I wait for my release
Lying here among the flowers
I can rest my weary bones
In the earth with my beloved
I have found my final home

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Long ago I sought to share it
That death might not be mine alone
But the Labyrinth-spawn, oh they could not bear it
They shall not reap what I have sown
Lying here bathed in sunshine
Ah -- my heart with light
-- And free from toil
Sunrise breaking through the night
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
No-one shall pull me from my slumber
My mind to plague with thoughts of life
Forever free of pain and hunger
I shall leave the city’s strife
Resting here bathed in sunshine
I have found where I shall lie
I have found my heart’s last calling
Elysian fields where I can die
Elysian fields where I can…

[Spoken: Jonny D'Ville]
"But that's not the death... you came to see. It's... Shall we?"
