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 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 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
