Keepers of Time
Gaia Epicus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going back in time, long before the human kind
When there was no evil minds
Driven by a force, let the nature take its course
Only the strongest will survive
But then the man came like a virus to this world
Once there was no crime, and no greedy selfish minds
Mother earth was in control
Living by the rule, killing just for food
Keep the balance in control
We are the keepers of time, the guardians of life
We know everything that the future will bring
Earth wind and fire is what we control
A burning desire that lives in us all, Keepers of Time
Looking back in time, through the history we find
That the humans will not learn
Make the same mistakes, as so many have before
Until this earth can take no more
Keepers of time, the guardians of life
They know everything about the future
We will take back control, and the evil will fall
There's always a light behind the rainbow
The Gaia Epicus song 'Keepers of Time' is a reflection on the history of mankind and our impact on the world we live in. The first verse speaks of a time long before humans existed, where only the strongest survived and nature controlled the balance of life. However, when humans came to the world, they brought with them evil and selfishness, throwing the balance off-kilter. The second verse laments the fact that despite our past mistakes, we continue to repeat them, leading to a future where the earth can no longer sustain us. The chorus speaks of hope and the desire to take control of our future, to be the 'guardians of life' and restore balance to the world.
The song speaks to the inescapable fact that humans have had a significant impact on the planet, changing the balance of nature and causing untold harm. However, there is hope that we can learn from our past and take responsibility for our actions to create a better future. The lyrics are a call to action to take control of our own destiny and save the planet we call home.

Going back in time, long before the human kind
Reflecting on the distant past, before humans came to be
When there was no evil minds
A time when there was no malevolence
Driven by a force, let the nature take its course
Nature was left uninterrupted to follow its natural order
Only the strongest will survive
Only the fittest creatures would survive and reproduce
But then the man came like a virus to this world
Humanity appeared on earth, a destructive presence
And spread evil to the earth that gave him birth
Humanity has caused harm to the planet that birthed them
Once there was no crime, and no greedy selfish minds
In the past, there was no wrongdoing or selfishness
Mother earth was in control
Nature dictated the way things were
Living by the rule, killing just for food
Creatures killed as needed for survival
Keep the balance in control
Maintaining the equilibrium of the natural world
We are the keepers of time, the guardians of life
Those who safeguard the planet and its inhabitants through time
We know everything that the future will bring
Aware of what's to come, and its effects on the world
Earth wind and fire is what we control
Able to manage the elements of our planet
A burning desire that lives in us all, Keepers of Time
An unquenched passion to protect and sustain the earth
Looking back in time, through the history we find
Retrospective examination of past events
That the humans will not learn
Humans repeating the same mistakes despite prior knowledge
Make the same mistakes, as so many have before
Repeating a pattern of errors from the past
Until this earth can take no more
Pushing the planet to the brink of its limits
Keepers of time, the guardians of life
Protecting the planet and its creatures over time
They know everything about the future
Aware of what's to come, and seeking to safeguard against it
We will take back control, and the evil will fall
Reasserting control over the harm done to the planet
There's always a light behind the rainbow
Hope remains, even in dark times
