Anachronistica Lyrics

The year was 1748
When I received a call
I had been playing Angry Birds
But how could I be here at all?

I knew the voice but not the name
My battery was low
They told me to come back right now
I wasn't sure if I should go

It seems that I am just a traveller in time
Detritus through the aeons
Causing epochs to unwind

I've lost all sense of purpose
And all will to exist
A fugitive in hiding
Anachronistic nihilist abyss

I saw the birth of dinosaurs
With I myself not born
I watched the fiery madness
As the continents were formed

Once I had killed Hitler
Then hid myself away
Somewhere in the recess of the past

When I returned I found the world
In even worse decay
And left again forever as an outcast

And now I travel with my phone
And listen to the sounds
That people from the future
Never had the chance to make

But now I know there is another one like me
She wants to start the human race again

And as the battery dies
I see my phone recharge
And next to me the woman
Takes my hand

She says ‘I know a place
Where all that ever could have been
Is waiting just for you
And just for me'

Anachronistica
It's all that we desire
It's everything we want our world to be

Anachronistica
The time lines take us home
And build for us a new eternity

It seems we are just travellers in time
Destroying all the aeons
Causing epochs to unwind

And as we travelled to this world
I wondered to myself
‘Have we just left existence
Or did we kill time itself?;

But we have a new purpose
And only we exist
Anachronists
