In a Thousand Years Will Be

In my dream the stranger said to me: Life is a state of flux Built on a thousand million thoughts Love lives here on the earth In a thousand million homes Then her eyes darkened, her smile lost as she remembered what it had cost I escaped from somewhere, somewhere I hope you’ll never see I escaped from what mankind in a thousand years will be In a thousand years from now Over a thousand million miles away Mankind has moved on somehow To somewhere you can’t see with your eyes, somewhere where evil stays The being of a human - the essence of your kind Somehow you solved the final puzzle of how you don’t have to die So when all responsibility is broken, when all ethical reasoning is left floating in the air That’s when mankind found its reason to simply not care In the future you’ll hear of a new life, a new hope far away, but I beg you not to take that journey, I beg you to stay! In a thousand years time you’ll still be alive - imagine you can live forever, imagine living in such a time? But when your natural soul is spent, and your body wants to die - every second of your new life will be a break in the natural order built on a thousand million lies.
