Original lyrics

EN

Thousands of years I was watching Over the plains and the sands Eternal smile on my lips I was announcing peace With unassuming grace While people looked up to me Then came a faith Raping all signs All in its way You can erase a thing of worth While you can’t cast out its truth You can negate and violate all over again You can collapse an icon and wipe out its light But you cannot erase the one eternal smile Hundreds of years on an old shelf Knowledge and culture preserved In a word some won’t ever conceive Then came a hidebound hand Raping the deathless page It happens every day You can erase a word of truth While you can’t cast out its worth You can negate and violate all over again You can collapse a bright star and wipe out its light But you cannot erase the one eternal word You can erase a word of truth While you can’t cast out its truth You can negate and violate all over again You can collapse a bright star and wipe out its light But you cannot erase the one eternal smile
