Текст песни: Another Thousand Years + перевод

In 1999

We thought the world would end

But January 1

We swept up the mess again

In 2001

We thought the end was near

But years just follow years

And we’re still here

Maybe the rapture’s gonna wait

The rapture’s gonna wait

Another thousand years

Before we’re standing at the gate

How do we go on

Living day by day

With only human hearts

To guide us on our way

Dig beneath the dirt

Burn it in the air

Throw away our filth

Until we smell it everywhere

But the sky don’t turn to black

The sea don’t turn to blood

The angels don’t come down

To raise us from the mud

Maybe the rapture’s gonna wait

The rapture’s gonna wait

Another thousand years

Before we’re standing at the gate

How do we go on

Living day by day

With only human hearts

To guide us on our way

I reach out in the dark

As I lie awake at night

My fingers touch another hand like mine

I hold onto it tight

I want to see my kingdom come

I’m praying for escape

Or else we’ll have to fix

What we took so long to break

Maybe the rapture’s gonna wait

The rapture’s gonna wait

Another thousand years

Before we’re standing at the gate

How do we go on

Living day by day

With only human hearts

To guide us on our way
