The time we've lost
Can't be replaced
What shall we do
With what remains?
Time may bend but it hasn't yet for me

Some live their dreams
Some push them away
But we made it here
Tempting our fate
Time may bend, but not enough for me

Calling out to the universe
Shine your light on me
The future of Mother Earth
Shine on, shine on
You're a mystery
Open up to me
Shine, shine on me

Calling out to the universe
Shine your light on me
The future of Mother Earth
Shine on, shine on
You're a mystery
Open up to me
Shine, shine on me

Styx is a rock band from Chicago formed in 1970. They enjoyed great success with pop rock and hard rock songs, and became famous for their power ballads and album releases of the mid 1970s and early 80s.

The band has gone through some famously nasty internal struggles, drug problems, illnesses and deaths, but continues to perform today (with a significantly altered line-up). Tommy Shaw, from Montgomery, AL, left but returned to the band. Drummer John Panozzo developed a debilitating drinking problem and ultimately died. Dennis DeYoung developed an acute case of photosensitivity, and he left the band. They fought among themselves for control of the band name. Glen Burtnik also left and returned, this time on bass, to replace Chuck Panozzo (John’s brother), who had also left the band. (whew.)
