In a time, before there was power

Stripped down abandoned and left to die

Trust forgotten to a bottomless pit

Never knew the reason why

In that time, before there was power

When moments of weakness consumed my soul

Constant struggle in the battle for control

Dark ages filled with crowns and thorns

Black hatred makes you rue the day you were born

The dismal passing seems a thousand years

A lifetime built on broken dreams and fallen tears

Lost and alone, surrounded by traitors

Severed ties never fail to surprise me

Marked for death in a continuous way

Day to day, of extensive exclusion

Through it all, felt so aloof

But time's progression brings destruction of youth

No connection, to what you hath wrought

If ever there was good in you, I forgot

This is my source of power

Stand tall and never cower

They are the ones that seek to break us

Fighting for themselves

They will not overtake us

Oh, save dreams for some other day

And so we wait until there's no time

Til there's no time

Oh, locked in deliberate delay

And so we wait until there's no time

Til there's no time

So much to lose in being so afraid

On this rocket ride from cradle to the grave

One shallow spark to mark your place upon this plane

No time, no time

Potential promises to earn my worldly wealth

But lifetime damage turned me into someone else

And all those promises got put back on the shelf

No time, no time

None
