The Future of a Past Life (feat. Marcus Bischoff) - Lord of the Lost

The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air You know it's funny how the people say the world is changed, It's like: Saying that stranger's a kind of strange It's like: Saying that water is kind of wet It's like: Saying that Elvis is kind of dead It's evident to anyone with half a brain that things change, That's why books have more than one page, That's why, me and my grandfather aren't the same age, That's why New Kids On The Block thery're not rockin' on Triple-J But, the more things change, the more they stay the same Same old girls, same wars, same games Sure, there's climate change, and there's terrorists and AIDS But we used to have the nazis And now it's was way way way worse But things get bad, then get better, Before I started eating bree, I used to eat cheddar The world is always gonna change, only love stays the same, Like I say in the refrain The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air When I died, I got them to cryogenically freeze me Believe me, it cost four million, that's cheap To see the future, see infinity, I thought that I had proven the truth of man's divinity But I discovered, I was poor like a chimney sweep, The richest man is just a tramp in the scheme of things Up there in the future, it wasn't much fun, Just a bunch of frozen businessman dreaming of a refund "Gimme back my money" They were yellin', Calling for the manager They were used to those credit card advantages But MasterCard can't change the past, can it? No kind of plastic is worth shit on a dead planet The whole place was cold like you wouldn't believe Just dead rocks in a dried up sea Just like time gone by Just like five fuckin' billion BC The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air Instrumental The meek shall inherit the earth, they're fine Don't have to fight for that shit Just have to bide your time Keep quiet, don't write any rhymes if you can help it 'Cos I'm sure god favors the silent, not the violent, Maybe the vibrant, definitely firemen Maybe the prime mister if he sticks to his assignment To lead wisely and not be divisive And while I'm on the subject, God, can you make him bring back human rights All right, fine, this is not a diatribe Just an ordinary rhyme about extraordinary times Hey, digital natives, on the love super highway You come my way leave e-mails and just fly away How good's that? I guess it's not all bad Crap, shit, fuck! We can still make positive tracks, Cut them on wax, under the full moon, Bury 'em for a month, And deep fry that to make, to make beats fat Fatter in batter, that's my motto, Like Specto said: back to mono, before he went loco Chatter for chatters sake that's the game, So I write rhymes that don't nessecerely mean a thing Sometimes, but this time I write a rhyme I can't deny I lie awake at night and recite the diatribe I'm alive and inspired to write rhymes or die tryin'. The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air

A war in heaven in God's rage He put me in this burning cage Holy fury locks me in Imprisoned by my deadly sin Every hour the shadow king Wonders what his clock will bring I've lived and loved and that's for sure My fatal quest forevermore The days of future past To wander on the shore A king without a queen To die forevermore To wander in the wasteland Immortal to the end Waiting for the judgment But the judgment never ends Once crucified, you forgave it all But my own life condemned to fall Where's the glory in your name? My twisted soul still burns in flame Hark you angels, hear my call Father witness to my fall Between the lines of sin and pain I walk the earth, now doomed again The days of future past To wander on the shore A king without a queen To die forevermore To wander in the wasteland Immortal to the end Waiting for the judgment But the judgment never ends The days of future past To wander on the shore A king without a queen To die forevermore To wander in the wasteland Immortal to the end Waiting for the judgment But the judgment never ends The days of future past To wander on the shore A king without a queen To die forevermore To wander in the wasteland Immortal to the end Waiting for the judgment But the judgment never ends

There's not just lies and hate behind the make-up on my face But I'm so good in playing this game I've played the game all day all night A million times I cross the line But in the end just anguish remains When everything's destroyed We find a heart inside the void Is it you? Is it me? Is it true what I feel? Or am I just lost in a heartbeat? Is it you? Is it me? I want to believe I feel like I'm lost in a heartbeat Is it as fake as you are true? Is love as great as life is cruel? We're lost in a heartbeat When everything's destroyed We find a heart inside the void Left behind. Is it yours or is it mine? Imagine you were me, did you ever try to see? Can you smell the guilt, the taste of poison? Whatever happens I'll be here Trying to be a better man Even if my heart is frozen. Is it you? Is it me? Is it true what I feel? Or am I just lost in a heartbeat? Is it you? Is it me? I want to believe I feel like I'm lost in a heartbeat Is it as fake as you are true? Is love as great as life is cruel? We're lost in a heartbeat When everything's destroyed We find a heart inside the void Left behind Is it yours or is it mine? When everything's destroyed We find a heart inside the void I'm lost in a heartbeat I'm lost in a heartbeat
