I slept with virgins, I slept with whores

I was a beggar, I wore a crown

I have seen myth fade into history

I was there when Troy’s walls came down

I lived in peace, I went to war

I succeeded, I have failed

I have seen religions rise and fall

I was there when Christ was nailed

(chorus)

I’m a child of the millennia

I lived throughout the ages

I’m a child of the millennia

Seen all of history’s pages

I have seen the heights of Heaven

I have seen the depths of Hell

But was it real what I have seen

Or an illusion, a dream, a spell

I lived pious, I was a blasphemer

I experienced glory, I endured pain

I have seen rulers conquer and perish

I was there when Ceasar was slain

I walked the desert, I sailed the sea

I spoke the truth, I have lied

I have seen empires come and go

I was there when the Romans died

(chorus)

Each century only brings more questions

Even though I have been tired for ages

But there is no escape from existence

So I travel on through history’s pages
