Before My Time Lyrics - Singles - The Mantras

Verse: 

All the saints would say 

It took a thousand days 

Stretched the veil across the sky 

I know it won't be long 

Till we crack the dawn 

And then we'll have our answers why 

But if your observation 

Lead to aggravation 

And your heart starts wearing thin 

Just keep on holding on 

You know it won't be long 

Until it all begins again 

Chorus: 

It was before my time 

When thoughts aligned 

And brought us to this place 

Take it day by day 

And face your pain 

Until it all fades away 

x2 

Verse: 

To the south and north 

Travels back and forth 

Along the ever present plight 

And through the east and west 

And all creations tests 

To live and love this life 

But if your conversation 

Leads to confrontation 

And your heart starts wearing thin 

Just keep on holding on 

You know it won't be long 

Until it all begins again 

Chorus: 

It was before my time 

When thoughts aligned 

And brought us to this place 

Take it day by day 

And face your pain 

Until it all fades away 

x2
