Two Thousand Years |
| In the beginning |
| There was the cold and the night |
| Prophets and angels gave us the fire and the light |
| Man was triumphant |
| Armed with the faith and the will |
| That even the darkest ages couldn’t kill |
| Too many kingdoms |
| Too many flags on the field |
| So many battles, so many wounds to be healed |
| Time is relentless |
| Only true love perseveres |
| It’s been a long time and now I’m with you |
| After two thousand years |
| This is our moment |
| Here at the crossroads of time |
| We hope our children carry our dreams down the line |
| They are the vintage |
| What kind of life will they live? |
| Is this a curse or a blessing that we give? |
| Sometimes I wonder |
| Why are we so blind to fate? |
| Without compassion, there can be no end to hate |
| No end to sorrow |
| Caused by the same endless fears |
| Why can’t we learn from all we’ve been through |
| After two thousand years? |
| There will be miracles |
| After the last war is won |
| Science and poetry ruling the new world to come |
| Prophets and angels |
| Gave us the power to see |
| What an amazing future there will be |
| And in the evening |
| After the fire and the light |
| One thing is certain: Nothing can hold back the night |
| Time is relentless |
| And as the past disappears |
| We’re on the verge of all things new |
| We are two thousand years |
