Kapasiteettiyksikkö - Maailmankirjat Feat. Max'C lyrics

a billion words ago

the sailors disappeared

a story for the children

to rock them back to sleep

a million burning books

like torches in our hands

a fabric of ideals

to decorate our homes

a thousand generations

the soil on which we walk

a mountain of mistakes

for us to climb for pleasure

a hundred clocks are ticking

the line becomes a circle

spin the wheel of fortune

or learn to navigate

a choir full of longing

will call our ships to port

the countless lonely voices

like whispers in the dark

a second of reflection can

take you to the moon

the slightest hesitation can

bring you down in flames

a single spark of passion

can change a man forever

a moment in a lifetime

is all it takes to break him

a fraction of a heartbeat

made us what we are

a brother and a sister

for better or for worse

a billion words ago

they sang a song of leaving

an echo from the chorus

will call them back again

a choir full of longing…

tonight we light the fires

we call our ships to port

tonight we walk on water

and tomorrow we'll be gone
