3, 000 Years

Story Behind The Song

3,000 years was originally inspired by the background story of a supporting character in a book. Written from a Matriarch's pov, it tells the story of a mother's love for her son, his eventual betrayal, and her promised vengeance. The lyrics are purposely written so that the song could be about two lovers who fall madly in love, the betrayal, and the promised upcoming revenge. The characters are practically immortal, thus the song span is from biblical times to the future from now.

Lyrics

3000 years

I'm awake, I'm alive, I'm awake
(Underlay: I'll be coming back)

All the guts and glory
No one knows our story
Oh how time erodes the truth

I'm awake, I'm alive
(I'll be coming back)

I lived a thousand years
conquered all my fears
Bodies quaked before my eyes

When I first laid my eyes upon you
I knew that love was a power beyond life

We shared a thousand years
I loved through all my fear
You built me towers to the sky

And I could feel the changes coming
The moonless night drew nearer
Oh, life

Bridge Instrumental

I've slept a thousand years
I wake, to all my fears
Treason written in your eyes

And you should know your end is coming
The sun and I are rising
Oh, life

I'm awake, I'm alive
(I'll be coming back)
