Before Time Began Lyrics by Deep Purple

Before Time Began

[Airey/Gillan/Glover/Morse/Paice]

The daylight fades and the stars comes out
But theres 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
Thats all we need, without them were worthless
Ah, weve come so far, hmm, but then again
All we see is more of the same
Its getting crowded here we agree no doubt
Oh dear brother whats it all about?

Hey you over there why dont 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 wont be too long before we have to move
Better start thinking about it while theres 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 its time to go
What might have been well never know
All those bad ideas became the law
Oh yes, weve forgotten what were looking for
All of you angels its time to gather your wings
Leave it all behind you wont need any of those things
Were 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.
