A Thousand Years Lyrics

I saved the world

And made it mine

Now I'm the air and the sunshine

Look on my works

They're pretty sweet

The rest of history is obsolete

This whole place was a lousy disgrace

Before I came along to lead

I gave chase to the weak and the fake

And scattered them away like sheep

My earthly frame

Will soon dissolve

They'll build a statue that's a mile tall

The future kings

Will all despair

They'll gaze upon me with a reverent stare

They'll cry to my soul in the sky

Searching for my sage advice

But not one in the ages to come

Will ever reach my soaring heights

Kingdoms fall and castles crumble

But I will never disappear

Fortunes fade and legends stumble

But I will reign a thousand years

Some say that I'm petty and vain

I know you are but what am I?

I'm too strong to ever be wrong

So god is clearly on my side

Kingdoms fall and castles crumble

But I will never disappear

Fortunes fade and legends stumble

But I will reign a thousand years

Kingdoms fall and castles crumble

But I will never disappear

Fortunes fade and legends stumble

But I will reign a thousand years

A thousand years
