(Verse 1)
Ancients say the time is near
They're coming now, can you hear?
Life we've known is at an end
Change has come, need not pretend
(Verse 2)
Breathe, the Ancients say
Sweat, bleed, toil away
Leave your best laid plans
Take this gift, hold out your hands
(Verse 3)
Pray, take your time
Lay your head next to mine
Gaze up at the sky
Let wonder fill your eyes
(Verse 4)
Could it be the time is near?
Run, run far from here
------
There's much for you out there
Suffer not to stop and stare
(Verse 5)
Close your eyes and you will see
That you are here with me
Shadows in time and space
Linger to our minds erase
(Bridge)
(Closing Verse)
Hope, hope and believe
Your prayers grant slight reprieve
-----
Once forgotten and forlorn
Ancient veil has now been torn
