Sting — A Thousand Years

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,

This single haunted memory of your face

7.00

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one,

Drying in the colour of the evening sun.

Tomorrowґs rain will wash the stains away,

But something in our minds will always stay.

Perhaps this final act was meant to clinch a lifetimers argument

That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could.

For all those born beneath an angry star,

Lest we forget how fragile we are.

Если прольется кровь, когда плоть и сталь станут одним целым,

Она высохнет, освещенная вечерним солнцем.

А завтрашний дождь смоет ее следы.

Но она навсегда оставит отпечаток в нашей памяти.

Возможно, этот последний акт был нужен, чтобы разрешить вечный спор

О том, что насилие ничего и никогда не принесет,

Чтобы те, кто был рожден под несчастливой звездой,

Не забывали, какие мы хрупкие.

On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from the star, like tears from the star.

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are, how fragile we are.

And if I told you that I loved you

You'd maybe think there's something wrong

I'm not a man of too many faces

The mask I wear is one

Those who speak know nothing

And find out to their cost

Like those who curse their luck in too many places

And those who fear are lost

Let's make it all for one and all for love.

Let the one you hold be the one you want,

The one you need,

'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all.

When there's someone that should know

Then just let your feelings show

And make it all for one and all for love.

There is no monopoly of common sense

On either side of the political fence.

We share the same biology

Regardless of ideology.

When it's love you make,

(I'll be the fire in your night.)

Then it's love you take.

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier

I know that the clubs are weapons of war

I know that diamonds mean money for this art

But that's not the shape of my heart

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety

You could end up as the only one.

Gentleness, sobriety are rare

in this society

At night a candle's brighter than the sun.

Every day another miracle.

Only death will tear us apart.

To sacrifice a life for yours,

I'd be the blood of the Lazarus heart.
