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 cretain: Nothing can hold back the light
|
Timme is relentless
|
And as the past disappears
|
We're on the verge of all things new
|
We are two thousand years
|
