1000 Years by The Band Repent Lyrics

1,000 years of darkness
1,000 years on this chain
To keep me away from you
An angel locked me away

I led a rebellion
I wanted to rule them all
I waged a war on Heaven
I would conquer it all

Can you imagine the madness
The battlefield that day
They chained a dragon
To a bottomless grave

1,000 years I have fallen
In this pit with no end
Today they drag me back to the top
To let me rule again

A third of the stars of Heaven fell from the skies that day
Headed to the Garden of Eden to destroy the whole fucking place
You are granted all your desires, go forth and seal your fate
I'll bring blood to the horses bridals when they open that door today
Death and Hades
You ain't got nothing on me 'cause I am the dragon
The original beast

Can you imagine my thoughts
It is you I have craved
I've been in here since Gog and Magog
Being forced to behave

I'm so excited to see you
Oh, how I've hated the wait
I just missed you at your birth
So I will wait at your grave

1,000 years of darkness
1,000 years on this chain
1,000 years I have fallen
Plotting my revenge

1,000 years I have loathed you
1,000 years to build hate
You better fear God and give him praise
They let me out today

A third of the stars of Heaven fell from the skies that day
Headed to the Garden of Eden to destroy the whole fucking place
You are granted all your desires, go forth and seal your fate
I'll bring blood to the horses bridals when they open that door today
Death and Hades
You ain't got nothing on me 'cause I am the dragon
The original beast

I rule this world
It's under my control
I branded you all, you wear the mark of me
The original beast
