Lyrics:
For thousands of years, I've walked the Earth's land.
Honestly after a thousand, I've lost count.
Everything post seems tedious and bland.
Theres hardly a moment that's worthy-account.
Seen the rise and fall of civilizations.
Man's movement, predictably obvious.
From fall of Rome to the Gaza relations.
No more wonder of the days before us.
I, I been roaming among the living for far too long
I , I've been roaming among Living too long.
Correct the last sentence of the last verse.
Many discoveries by prodigal men.
Technological achievements to unlock the universe.
Yet men shun facts for superstition.
Time feels abstract and now is whenever.
Ticking torture never done.
I've been it all, a hundred times over.
Now I'll walk and burn into the dawn sun.
I, I been roaming among the living for far too long
I , I've been roaming among Living too long.
I open the doors to end life's dance.
I see you gleaming among the living.
Miraculous hope thru ancient glance.
How long have you been there ? a life worth giving.
I, I been roaming among the living for far too long
I , I have been Living too long.
What is a thousand more years on this earth
when time ceases to exist with you?
Finally someone to share a past, present and future.
I shall remain among the living.
Among the ...living
among the living
