Lyrics
I remember when we took our first step
Growing barley in the North of Iraq
The days were long and
There was a lot to be done
I’ve written stories on big blocks of clay
I saw civility come into play
And as time went by, to protect my disguise
I had to go away
So I went down to the Egypt land
Helped the Pharaoh build the pyramids with two other friends
I helped Moses escape and fight
And then I vanished into the night
Ten thousand years gone
I’ve seen it all before
It takes a long time to rise
But a second to destroy
I sailed a ship across the Aegean sea
Then I took residence up in Athens, Greece
And taught a man named Plato
Who used to call me Socrates
I went to Alexandria and saw it was great
The Romans rose and fell in what felt like a day
I walked with Christ and saw the price he paid
And when the Hordes invaded
I was already on my way
Ten thousand years gone
I’ve seen it all before
It takes a long time to rise
But a second to destroy, yeah
I found safe haven with whom they called witches
I put together the old bits and pieces
I saw the plagues, the crusades, the Inquisition
The wars and revolutions
The 21st Century came with promises
A better world for each and every man
But in all my years I haven’t seen so much
Blood be shed, yeah
Ten thousand years gone
I’ve seen it all before
It takes a long time to rise
But a second to destroy
Ten thousand years gone
I’ve seen it all before
It takes a long time to rise
But a second to destroy
