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
2x
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
2x
a choir full of longing
will call our ships to port
the countless lonely voices
like whispers in the dark
3x
tonight we light the fires
we call our ships to port
tonight we walk on water
and tomorrow we'll be gone
tonight
tonight

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 
2x 
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 
2x 
a choir full of longing 
will call our ships to port 
the countless lonely voices 
like whispers in the dark 
3x 
tonight we light the fires 
we call our ships to port 
tonight we walk on water  
and tomorrow we'll be gone 
tonight 
tonight
