lyrics

everyone had this regrets
chances that we left behind
everyone had dreams about it
about going back in time

the fiction of the yesterday
is todays reality
but beware of consequences
all the dangers that it brings

don't travel, don't travel back in time
you know, you'll make it even worse
don't travel, don't travel back in time
you know, you'll make it even worse

crazy science without restraint
is doom of the humanity
doing wrongs for the good reasons
how naive such thinking is?

don't travel, don't travel back in time
you know, you'll make it even worse
don't travel, don't travel back in time
you know, you'll make it even worse

changing past is a hell of a drug
once you start, you can never stop
one thing is fixed and another is broken
and again you're spining the clock

killing the serpent to save paradise
wouldn't remove the knowledge and lies
we have lived through it to see how it ended
but no one knows what would happen instead

don't travel, don't travel back in time
you know, you'll make it even worse
uhhh, uh-uh
na-na-na
don't travel, don't travel back in time
you know, you'll make it even worse

to change the road of history
just to avoid the painfull lessons that we learned
yes, try it out and you will see
your present world will fall apart when you return

the humans ruled by dinosaurs
or by some scum or even both
or maybe there is nothing that is left alive
destroyed by bombs created from technology some stupid jerk brought from the future

don't travel, don't travel back in time
you know, you'll make it even worse
don't travel, don't travel back in time
you know, you'll make it even worse

you know, you'll make it even worseeveryone had this regrets
chances that we left behind
everyone had dreams about it
about going back in time and make it right

but
don't travel, don't travel back in time
you know, you'll make it even worse
don't travel, don't travel back in time
you know, you'll make it even worse
