Lend me the eyes of millennia Align the rapid glimpse of lives in frames Like fading photographs in ashes In desperate seconds, closed in by the flames Let me walk into their cities When dust and sand has covered every trace If love, of pain and liberty A veil of ash and night across its face I would cast a shadows over beacons To see disoriented swarms disperse Like rays of hope into the night The rise of civilizations in reverse And as ghosts among the living Like echoes of a fading song We could run across the battlefields On bloodstained road to freedom Lend me the eyes of millennia Align the rapid glimpse of lives in frames Like fading photographs in ashes In desperate seconds, closed in by the flames Let me walk into their cities When dust and sand has covered every trace If love, of pain and liberty
