A Thousand Years

A thousand years, a thousand more,

A

thousand times a million doors to

eternity

I may have lived a

thousand lives, a thousand times

An

endless turning stairway climbs

To a

tower of souls

If it takes another

thousand years, a thousand wars,

The

towers rise to numberless floors in

space

I could shed another

million tears, a million breaths,

A

million names but only one truth to

face

A million roads, a million fears

A

million suns, ten million years of

uncertainty

I could speak a

million lies, a million songs,

A

million rights, a million wrongs in this

balance of time

But if there was a

single truth, a single light

A

single thought, a singular

touch of grace

Then following this

single point , this single flame,

The

single haunted memory of your

face

I

still

love

you

I

still

want

you

A

thousand times the mysteries

unfold themselves

Like

galaxies in my head

I may be numberless, I may be innocent

I may know many things, I may be ignorant

Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands

Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands

I could be cannon food,

destroyed a thousand times

Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes

Or wear this pilgrim's cloak,

or be a common thief

I've

kept this single faith, I have but one belief

I

still

love

you

I

still

want

you

A

thousand times the mysteries

unfold themselves

Like

galaxies in my head
