G In the beginning G/B C D there was the cold and the night Am Am7 Prophets and angels C D G gave us the fire and the light F6 Man was triumphant Bdim Am C#dim Armed with the faith and the will G C D That even the darkest ages couldn't kill G Too many kingdoms G/B C D Too many flags on the field Am Am7 So many battles C D G So many wounds to be healed F6 Time is relentless Bdim Am C#dim Only true love perseveres G Em G/B C It's been a long time and now I'm with you D G C Em D After two thousand years This is our moment Here at the crossroads of time We hope our children carry our dreams down the line They are the vintage What kind of life will they live? Is this a curse or a blessing that we give? Sometimes I wonder Why are we so blind to fate? Without compassion, there can be no end to hate No end to sorrow Caused by the same endless fears Why can't we learn from all we've been through After two thousand years? There will be miracles After the last war is won Science and poetry ruling the new world to come Prophets and angels Gave us the power to see What an amazing future there will be And in the evening After the fire and the light One thing is certain: Nothing can hold back the night Time is relentless And as the past disappears We're on the verge of all things new We are two thousand years You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  Am7  B  Bdim  C  C#dim  D  Em  F6  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
