40,000 Years

When they find that first cellphone buried in the sand

40,000 years from yesterday

They will scratch their heads and wonder what it said and why they threw their world away

Standing in the rubble they'll know that there's been trouble

40,000 years of hate to blame

From their fate they can't escape, no, they've made that same mistake with their guns, bombs and religion

We are going back to Mars, leaving Earth behind

Oh, what a crime, I know it's not the first time

Aah - 40,000 years from yesterday

Aah - 40,000 years from yesterday

It's the same sky

A different circle

It can't be broken

It can't be broken

The same sky

A different ocean

It can't be broken

Words they are not spoken now

What God has wrought, not what man has made

Surely, it's a clue when they find the drone that flew in the bones of a bejeweled hand

They'll remember, they will cry for the innocents who died

40,000 years of hate to blame

We are going back to Mars, leaving Earth Behind

Leaving Babylon, I know it's not the last time

Aah - 40,000 years from yesterday

Aah - 40,000 years from yesterday

It's the same sky

A different circle

It can't be broken

It can't be broken

The same sky

A different ocean

It can't be spoken

It can't be open

What God has wrought, not what man has made

We are going back to move ahead

It's the same sky

Another circle
