Styx - These Are The Times Lyrics

Excellent song!!!!

Carrot album is great!!!!

Lovw this

So powerful. Love this.

Good, but it's NO early Styx, ie Man of Miracles!

Happy Birthday JY

shout out Michael.
missing getting drunk with you and talking about life, God, the universe and everything.

I hear voices from beyond the veil
They reverberate in mystery
There are shadows in my heart
And they multiply in memory

And the comrades that I've lost out there
In the scattered ruins still speak to me

If the flickering light of your campfire dims
The world grows smaller
It's closing in
I'm standing here
And I want you to live

I know

These are the times we find out who we really are
This will be when a true friend stands at your side
Someone like me who wants to
Believe in the days of high times and innocence
Drawing the lines and shouting back to the night
Someone like me who wants you to live

And from those who've seen the light beyond
We know the end will bring tranquility
But the voices of the friends they heard
Brought them back to this reality

Tough the beacon of light in your life seems dim
The sun's coming up on the world we're in
There are choices here
And I want you to live

I know

These are the times we find out who we really are
This will be when a true friend stands at your side
One more like me
Who wants to believe in the truth of all we experienced
To live again to jump back into the fight
Someone like me who wants you to live

Pouring light from the sky
Portends you and I
Disappears in the night

I still remember

I hear voices from beyond the veil
Like a faint unfinished symphony

Though the beacon of light in your life seems dim
The sun's coming up on the world we're in
I'm standing here
And I want you to live

I know

These are the times we find out who we really are
This will be when a true friend stands at your side
One more like me
Who wants to believe in the truth of all we experienced
To live again to jump back into the fight
Someone like me who wants you to live

I want you, I want you, I want you to live
I want you, I want you, I want you to live
I want you to live

I still remember.

Great song. My second cousin just happens to be Dennis DeYoung.

Fire Foxx765 that's awesome Dennis is amazing

Send me his information

How could 7 people give this a thumbs down?! They must not be of the human race :)

Well, these are the times... Give them an obol and send them over the Styx. ;-)

a good song, overshadowed by their other stuff, although their other stuff is awesome as well, an underrated band, how they not in the rock n roll hall of fame is beyond my wildest dreams

This was the first Styx album I listened to. I think it was back when it first came out, too. ^^

+ReyaitheShadowWolf You missed alot of good music then. This is not one of their better albums.

@Ilovewyatt01
After I listened to this album, I listened to their older stuff.

Me too!

I was turned on to this band by an online contact, which may have proved to be ficticious but I am grateful as this song really kicks ass.

Rock God - JY! Best track since the 'real' line up disbanded.

I vvas convinced the vocals on this vvas Rob Halford, Sounds JUST like him on the Nostradomus album

Aylmer 😂😂😂

the guitar intro sounds just like "on the backs of angels" by dream theater

In my honest opinion, this is the best song from this album, it just bleeds classic Styx ang how can that be wrong?

sooo agree!!! :-)

The current version of STYX puts on a better live show than they EVER did with Dennis DeYoung. They have more energy and enthusiasm on stage than they ever have before. That's not to take anything away from DDY because he is an incredible talent, but he held them back and they resent it. As for Cyclorama, this record is fantastic. Nobody wants to give new music much of a chance these days...especially from classic rock bands. It's not far behind Grand Illusion/POE/Paradise Theater. Love it

Michael Schmidling I wish they would play these songs live

I actually have seen this current version of Styx in concert....I was sorely disappointed with what I saw and heard. This is a good song and there are a few other good songs on this, but after discovering what the short song on this album Bourgieous Pig is actually doing, My interest in supporting them has gone done even further.

the best band in the world. PHENOMENAL album, absolutely incredible, and we need another new one.

The Mission ;) 💜

Bassist Ricky Phillips promised that the wait for the next Styx album will be very short. <3

Being a DDY fan I wont see them in concert, but I have to admit this is a great song. Sounds like classic Styx.

anakina1 you’re missing out

That's because Styx without DDY still sounds like classic Styx

Good song. JY at his best.

Agreed.
