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 rule in 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 light.

Time is relentless.

And as the past disappears

We're on the verge of all things new.

We are two thousand years.
