Ten Thousand Years

Have you seen the jewels of Golgatha,

Shining brighter than the Stars of North?

Have you seen the vast deserts of Saba,

Piercing your heart like a glimpse of eternity?

Have you seen the ruins of Karnak,

And felt how great a man's mind can be?

Have you known that perfection is understanding,

And that to understand you only must love?

I have wandered the infinite forests,

And let the emerald green be a part of me.

I have fought the white wolves in winter,

And seen the sun go down in blood-reed snow.

I have climbed the high mountains of Tibet,

Where the beauty of nature hurts like agony.

I have been to the holy city of Jerech,

But all their Gods ment nothing to me!

My heart feels,

Like a cold block of stone.

My past is lost,

And my fire is broken.

The time I was free,

Is long forgotten!

But in every hill,

I still live!
