2000 Years From Now

(album: Stranger Comes To Town - 2010)

He wakes, the celebrating is done
Still he silently screams
Alone, alone, lost on silent street

He sits, motionless, in his corner
Head in hands, disbelieving
The shame, the shame
A cost he cannot meet

And so nobody takes his side
No, nobody saves his life

2,000 years from now
What'll the history tell?
Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell
2,000 years from now
What'll the history show?
Mankind destroyed itself, oh no!

The gun, shooting-stick and the collar
Fog the eye of his dreams
Alone, alone, nothing's what it seems

And no, nobody takes his side
And no, nobody saves his life

2,000 years from now
What'll the history tell?
Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell
2,000 years from now
What'll the history show?
Mankind destroyed itself, oh no!

He runs, breaking out of his cover
Shaking free of his chains
Crawls, he falls, motionless again

And so nobody takes his side
And no, nobody saves his life

2,000 years from now
What'll the history tell?
Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell
2,000 years from now
What'll the history show?
Mankind destroyed itself, oh no!

(2,000 years from now)
(What'll the history tell?)
(Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell)
(2,000 years from now)
(What'll the history show?)
(Mankind destroyed itself, oh no!)

(2,000 years from now)
(What'll the history tell?)
(Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell)
(2,000 years from now)
(What'll the history show?)
(Mankind destroyed itself, oh no!)
