Day after day
  I feel myself slowing down
  What does it mean?
  The air has changed
  It's getting harder to breath
  Or so it would seem
  Sail me away to a distant shore
  Where everything's fine
    A thousand years
  Lost in the blink of an eye
  If the sky keeps fallin'
  The world will come tumblin' down
  In a thousand years
    Tell me my friend
  Can you imagine a place
  Free of boundaries and lies
  There's blood on the wind
  And it's come all of the way from faraway skies
  Take me away to a different world
  Where everything's fine
    A thousand years
  Lost in the blink of an eye
  If the sky keeps fallin'
  The world will come tumblin' down
  In a thousand years
    A thousand years
  One day for every life
  Just keep on going
  We'll find you a home underground
  In a thousand years
    [Instrumental break]
    Sail me away to a distant shore
  Where everything's fine
    A thousand years
  Lost in the blink of an eye
  If the sky keeps fallin'
  The world will come tumblin' down
  In a thousand years
    A thousand years
  One day for every life
  Just keep on going
  We'll find you a home underground
  In a thousand years
    (Sail me away to a distant shore
  where everything's fine)
