[Ab]
[Eb] A [Ab] thousand years, a thousand more, [Abm] a thousand times, I believe [B] the door is [Ab] to eternity.
I believe [Ebm] a thousand [Ab] lives, a thousand [Abm] times, an endless turn, a still weak life to a tower [Fm] of [Ab] souls.
Producing [Ebm] another thousand years, a thousand more as [Abm] the towers rise, the numberless [Fm] powers in space.
I could shed [Db] another million tears, a million breaths, [Abm] a million lives, but only one truth [Bb] to face.
[Eb]
A million [Ab] wounds, a million [Ebm] fears, a million [Abm] suns, triple the heaviness [Ab] of uncertainty.
I could speak a million [Ebm] lies, a million songs, [Abm] a million rants, a million cries [Ab] in this palace of time.
If there [Ebm] was a single truth, a single light, [Abm] a single thought, a single [Fm] touch of grace.
If there [Db] was a single heart, a single flame, [Abm] a single haunted memory of [Ab] your face.
[Eb] I still [Abm]
love [Ab] you.
[Db]
[Fm] I [Eb] still [Abm] want [Fm] you.
[Db] [Fm]
[Gb] A thousand times the mysteries [B] will form themselves like galaxies [Ab] in my head.
[Ebm]
[B]
[Ebm] I may be numberless, I may [B] be innocent.
[F] I may know many things, I may be ignorant.
[Ebm] Or I could ride with [Abm] kings who conquer [B] many [F] lands.
I will this world of gods and let it slip my hands.
[Ebm] I could be a cannon fool, [Abm] destroyed a thousand [Fm] times, reborn as fortune's child to judge another's [Db] crimes.
Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, [B] or be a common thief.
[Eb] I've kept this single faith I have but won't believe.
I still [Abm] love [Ab] you.
[Eb] I still [Abm] want [Fm] you.
[Gb] A thousand times the mysteries [B] will form themselves like galaxies [Bb] in my head.
[Abm] A thousand times the mysteries will wind themselves eternally [Gb] still unseen [Bbm] to me.
