Before Time Began - Deep Purple

The daylight fades and the stars come 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
