Are We Travellers in Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Two thousand years they stand behind us
Are we just travellers in time?
We face the phantoms of our future
They face destruction of their kind

[Pre-Chorus]
These, these are the days
These, these are the times

[Chorus]
Are we just travellers in time?

[Verse 2]
The ancient stones of time, they call us
To hear their mystic prophecies
They've stood in silence, they're immortal
Forgotten page of history

[Pre-Chorus]
These, these are the days
These, these are the times

[Chorus]
Are we just travellers in time?
Are we just travellers in time?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
The crystal powers, they will take you
Far across the sands of time
Searching ever for an answer
What's the future of mankind?

[Pre-Chorus]
These, these are the days
These, these are the times

[Chorus]
Are we just travellers in time?
Are we just travellers in time?
Are we just travellers in time?
Are we just travellers in time?
In time, time, time, time, time

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

While a bit convoluted, the song explores the concept of time and humanity's place within it, questioning whether humans are merely passing through different epochs of history as travelers, witnessing the past and facing the uncertainties of the future; It invites you to reflect on the nature of existence and the cyclical nature of time. By the end, it encourages listeners to contemplate the past to shape the present and future, not to let time flow by like gusts of wind, while pondering the cyclical nature of human existence and the interconnectedness of all periods in time.
