A Time Before Time

You'll never see me, I'm just a ghost in your machine
I am the antidote, not what you want but who you need
You have no future, it seems you've blown it all away
On some cosmic game of chance,
The dealer smiled, the cards were played

and I can't believe this, I feel like the heavens opened wide
Tonight the sun won't shine, the end is in this light I'm holding

Come listen closely, I've got a message you can't buy
I'm from another might, a sorrow that's measured in tears that you cry
So please speak softly, cause if they see you they might try
to fix your empty life. Your lack of enjoyment for what's left inside

and I can't believe this, to say that our future's on the line
It's a time before time, our memories will never follow

and they see nothing, and from nothing they will run
oh so wide eyed, but inside so gone
You dare hold a candle to the blackness of the sun?
now we're forever, just you and I.
at the end of the world

In a time before time, when the are all aligned
Here's where our memories will stay
in a world left behind, we can't leave this all to circumstance
or we'll only fade away

In a time before time, when they take what's yours and mine
You don't have to fade away

And time after time, when we take our place in line
here's where our legacy will play
You can wait for a sign, but don't leave your dreams to circumstance
or you'll surely fade away
