Deep Purple: Before Time Began - Tekst piosenki

(Airey/Gillan/Glover/Morse/Paice)

The daylight fades and the stars comes out
But theres never much to talk about
Another day goes rushing by and here we are just wondering why
We have to belong with a sense of purpose
Thats all we need, without them were worthless
Ah, weve come so far, hmm, but then again
All we see is more of the same
Its getting crowded here we agree no doubt
Oh dear brother whats it all about?

Hey you over there why dont you throw down your spear?
We all need some help right now
Where are we going from here?
The way things are working out
It wont be too long before we have to move
Better start thinking about it while theres still time to choose

Every day of my life I discover
Someone murdering my sisters and brothers
In the name of some god or another
What do you know

For the first precious few its time to go
What might have been well never know
All those bad ideas became the law
Oh yes, weve forgotten what were looking for
All of you angels its time to gather your wings
Leave it all behind you wont need any of those things
Were going on through the darkness hand in hand
To step into the future
Before time began

And for those who remain with your chosen gods
May your prayers be answered.
