Before Time Began

作曲：Morse、Paice、Glover、Airey、Gillan Broken down relations, beaten up guitars Making one last appearance in a heap of old cars Brambles and weeds flourishing amongst Lines of empty bottles and rambling drunks Junkyard blues sounds familiar I’m never alone Always remind me of home Once of a dozen covered with stains Blistered and stinking was all that remained Cannibalised machines, mysterious bones Unwanted contents of anonymous homes Those junkyard blues sounds familiar Take me back Always remind me of home Mangy old dog scratching in the dust Burned out Mercedes surrendering to rust All this stuff was good for something But here it is now, good for nothing Junkyard blues sounds familiar I’m never alone Always remind me of home 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
