Before the Deluge-群星

[ti:Before the Deluge] [ar:群星] [al:AbsTRACT Ⅳ (Midnight of Rain)] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Before the Deluge - 群星 [00:40.10]Some of them were dreamers [00:44.71]Some of them were fools [00:48.10]Who were making plans and thinking of the future [00:56.00] [00:57.19]With the energy of the innocent [01:01.62]They were gathering the tools [01:06.15]They would need to make their journey back to nature [01:15.10]While the sand slipped through the opening [01:19.53]And their hands reached for the golden ring [01:24.09]With their hearts they turned to each other's hearts for refuge [01:30.92] [01:32.86]In the troubled years that came before the deluge [01:39.22] [01:43.16]Some of them knew pleasure and some of them knew pain [01:51.17]And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered [01:57.87] [02:00.05]And on the brave and crazy wings of youth [02:04.63]They went flyin' around in the rain [02:09.00]And their feathers once so fine grew torn and tattered [02:15.90] [02:18.01]And in the end they traded their tired wings [02:22.47]For the resignation that living brings [02:27.02]And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow [02:31.74]For the glitter and the rouge [02:33.91] [02:36.41]And in a moment they were swept before the deluge [02:42.72] [02:43.59]Now let the music keep our spirits high [02:49.75] [02:52.68]And let the buildings keep our children dry [02:58.32] [02:59.17]Let creation reveal its secrets by and by by and by [03:11.32]When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky [03:19.15] [03:21.57]Some of them were angry at the way the earth was abused [03:29.53]By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power [03:36.34] [03:38.33]And they struggled to protect her from them only to be confused [03:47.17]By the magnitude of the fury in the final hour [03:52.62] [03:55.74]And when the sand was gone and the time arrived [04:00.42]In the naked dawn only a few survived [04:05.15]And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge [04:13.55]Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge [04:21.40]Now let the music keep our spirits high [04:27.69] [04:30.81]And let the buildings keep our children dry [04:34.10] [04:37.17]Let creation reveal its secrets by and by by and by [04:49.25]When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky
