Before This Time Songtext
von Riot V

Burned up by the fire
Consumed by the cleansing flames
Of forces that conspire

The lowest of lows
Yet buried within the ash
A seed inside still grows

Once blackened
Now beckoned
A voice is calling

Atonement
Through movement
From the grave crawling

Crushed, severed in two
All that was lost
Suddenly born anew

Hope, withered and dried
Brought back to life
Now there′s a glow inside


Life, newly sublime
Don't ever look back
Before this time

A mind filled with dread
The fear of former mistakes
Brings idleness instead

But the cycle can end
The strength of one move forward
Leads to life once again

Once blackened
Now beckoned
A voice is calling

Atonement
Through movement
From the grave crawling

Crushed, severed in two
All that was lost
Suddenly born anew

Hope, withered and dried
Brought back to life
Now there′s a glow inside


Life, newly sublime
Don't ever look back
Before this time

Before this time

Once blackened
Now beckoned
A voice is calling

Atonement
Through movement
From the grave crawling

Crushed, severed in two
All that was lost
Suddenly born anew

Hope, withered and dried
Brought back to life
Now there's a glow inside

Life, newly sublime
Don′t ever look back
Before this time

Before this time
