(Airey/Gillan/Glover/Morse/Paice)

The daylight fades and the stars comes out
But there�s never much to talk about
Another day goes rushing by and here we are just wondering why
We have to belong with a sense of purpose
That�s all we need, without them we�re worthless
Ah, we�ve come so far, hmm, but then again
All we see is more of the same
It�s getting crowded here we agree no doubt
Oh dear brother what�s it all about?

Hey you over there why don�t you throw down your spear?
We all need some help right now
Where are we going from here?
The way things are working out
It won�t be too long before we have to move
Better start thinking about it while there�s still time to choose

Every day of my life I discover
Someone murdering my sisters and brothers
In the name of some god or another
What do you know

For the first precious few it�s time to go
What might have been we�ll never know
All those bad ideas became the law
Oh yes, we�ve forgotten what we�re looking for
All of you angels it�s time to gather your wings
Leave it all behind you won�t need any of those things
We�re going on through the darkness hand in hand
To step into the future
Before time began

And for those who remain with your chosen gods
May your prayers be answered.
