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 night
 Time is relentless
 And as the past disappears
 We're on the verge of all things new
 We are two thousand years
