9. A Thousand Years (4:53)
[Verse 1]
Day after day
I feel myself slowing down
What does it mean?
The air has changed
It's getting harder to breathe
Or so it would seem

[Pre-Chorus]
Sail me away to a distant shore
Where everything's fine

[Chorus]
A thousand years
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin', the world will come tumbling down
In a thousand years

[Verse 2]
Tell me, my friend
Can you imagine a place
Free of boundaries and lies?
There's blood on the wind
And it's come all of the way
From faraway skies

[Pre-Chorus]
Take me away to a different world, where everything's fine

[Chorus]
A thousand years
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin', the world will come tumbling down
In a thousand years

A thousand years
One day for every life
Just keep on going, we'll find you a home underground
In a thousand years

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Sail me away to a distant shore, where everything's fine

[Chorus]
A thousand years
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin', the world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years

A thousand years
One day for every life
Just keep on going, we'll find you a home underground
In a thousand years
[Outro]
Sail me away to a distant shore, where everything's fine...
