Before Our Time - Макс Брух

In an eternal warmth

We are held in suspension

I only see red inside my home

I’m tied to its walls

And it keeps me safe, even with so little breath

I know my time will come, come

When I’m curled inside

I can scarcely feel the outside

All the hate in the air cannot reach me here

'Cause it keeps me safe, even with so little breath

I know my time will come, come

Oh body, hold me tight

And sway me gently to moonlight

For here I am loved

And my sins are not yet realised

(I am innocent 'til proven otherwise)

Oh body, hold me tight

And sway me gently to moonlight

For here I am loved

And my sins are not yet realised

(I am innocent 'til proven otherwise)

I know I can’t stay here forever

But my eyes don’t want to see the world ahead

It’s full of dark and danger

And I’m not prepared, I’m so scared

Will you stay here and hold me?

Can’t forget all you told me

Don’t make me have to witness

The things that I can’t foresee

Will you stay here and hold me?

Can’t forget all you told me

Don’t make me have to witness

The things that I can’t foresee

Will you stay here and hold me?

Can’t forget all you told me

Don’t make me have to witness

The things that I can’t foresee

Will you stay here and hold me?

Can’t forget all you told me

Don’t make me have to witness

The things that I can’t foresee

(Here I am loved)

(I am innocent 'til proven otherwise)

Oh body, hold me tight

And sway me gently to moonlight

For here I am loved

I’m innocent 'til proven otherwise

Oh body, hold me tight

Oh body, hold me tight

For here I am

For here I am loved

For here I am loved

And my sins are not yet realized
