A Thousand Years (Nitin Sawhney Mix)

A thousand years, a thousand more
A thousand times, a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning, stairway climbs to a tower of souls

If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I shed another million tears, a million breaths
A million names, but only one truth to face

I still love you

A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time

But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point, this single flame
The single haunted memory of your face

I still love you
Still want you

A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head

I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands

I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes
Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief
I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief

I still love you
I still want you

I still love you
I still want you

I still love you
I still want you
