[01:29.39]A thousand years a thousand more
[01:32.21]A thousand times a million doors to eternity
[01:37.72]
[01:40.32]I may have lived a thousand lives a thousand times
[01:43.86]An endless turning stairway climbs
[01:46.52]To a tower of souls
[01:49.40]
[01:52.01]If it takes another thousand years a thousand wars
[01:55.54]The towers rise to numberless floors in space
[02:00.97]
[02:03.88]I could shed another million tears a million breaths
[02:07.38]A million names but only one truth to face
[02:12.20]
[02:22.14]A million roads a million fears
[02:24.98]A million suns ten million years of uncertainty
[02:30.32]
[02:33.12]I could speak a million lies a million songs
[02:36.64]A million rights a million wrongs in this balance of time
[02:42.14]
[02:44.69]But if there was a single truth a single light
[02:48.24]A single thought a singular touch of grace
[02:53.51]
[02:56.59]Then following this single point this single flame
[03:00.01]The single haunted memory of your face
[03:05.33]
[03:08.60]I still love you
[03:18.91]
[03:20.29]I still want you
[03:29.94]
[03:32.42]A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
[03:36.57]Like galaxies in my head
[03:40.78]
[03:56.35]I may be numberless I may be innocent
[04:01.89]I may know many things I may be ignorant
[04:07.72]Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
[04:13.56]Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
[04:18.77]
[04:19.38]I could be cannon food destroyed a thousand times
[04:25.31]Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes
[04:31.15]Or wear this pilgrim's cloak or be a common thief
[04:36.93]I've kept this single faith I have but one belief
[04:42.21]I still love you
[04:52.24]
[04:54.04]I still want you
[05:03.26]
[05:05.99]A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
[05:10.34]Like galaxies in my head
[05:14.74]
[05:17.64]On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
[05:22.07]Eternities still unsaid
[05:25.84]
[05:26.45]Till you love me
