Lyrics
In a time before there was power
In a period before the existence of authority or control
Stripped down abandoned and left to die
Left exposed, deserted, and abandoned, facing imminent demise
Trust forgotten to a bottomless pit
Trust discarded into an abyss without end
Never knew the reason why
Unaware of the cause or justification
In that time before there was power
Referring again to a time when authority was absent
When moments of weakness consumed my soul
Experiencing moments of vulnerability that overwhelmed the soul
Constant struggle in the battle for control
Continuous struggle in the fight for dominance
Dark ages filled with crowns and thorns
Describing a historical era filled with challenges and suffering
Black hatred makes you rue the day you were born
Intense hatred that brings remorse for one's existence
The dismal passing seems a thousand years
The passing of time feels prolonged and burdensome
A lifetime built on broken dreams and fallen tears
A lifetime constructed from shattered dreams and shed tears
Lost and alone, surrounded by traitors
Feeling lost and isolated, surrounded by betrayers
Severed ties never fail to surprise me
Broken connections that continually astonish
Marked for death in a continuous way
Marked for death in an unending manner
Day to day, of extensive exclusion
Experiencing daily, prolonged exclusion
Through it all, felt so aloof
A sense of detachment throughout the ordeal
But time’s progression brings destruction of youth
As time progresses, youth is destroyed
No connection to what you hath wrought
No connection to the consequences of one's actions
If ever there was good in you, I forgot
If there was ever goodness within, it has been forgotten
This is my source of power
Declaring a personal source of strength
Stand tall and never cower
Standing tall and resisting submission
They are the ones that seek to break us
Identifying those who aim to defeat or break the speaker
Fighting for themselves
Fighting for individual survival
They will not overtake us
Asserting that they will not be overcome or conquered
Oh, save dreams for some other day
Encouraging the postponement of dreams for another time
And so we wait until there’s no time
Waiting until time is scarce or running out
Til there’s no time
Repeating the urgency of waiting until time is limited
Oh, locked in deliberate delay
Being deliberately held back or delayed
And so we wait until there’s no time
Continuing to wait until time is nearly exhausted
Til there’s no time
Emphasizing the critical nature of the wait
So much to lose in being so afraid
Weighing the significant losses resulting from excessive fear
On this rocket ride from cradle to the grave
Metaphorically describing life as a journey with minimal room for error
One shallow spark to mark your place upon this plane
A small trigger or incident marking one's existence on Earth
No time, no time
No time left, emphasizing the scarcity of time
Potential promises to earn my worldly wealth
Promises of potential success in the material world
But lifetime damage turned me into someone else
Life experiences causing irreversible changes to one's identity
And all those promises got put back on the shelf
Promises unfulfilled and abandoned due to lack of time
No time, no time
No time to fulfill those promises
None
