"6000 Years Ago" lyrics

I have no faith in human perfectibility
I think that human exertion will have
No appreciable effect upon humanity
Man is now only more active
Not more happy
Nor more wise
Than he was

Six thousand years ago
Six thousand years ago
Six thousand years ago
Six thousand years ago

Five, four, three, two, one, zero
All engines running
Lift off, we have a lift-off
That's one small step for man
One giant leap for mankind

Lost in our anger, lonely in our might
We're crawling towards darkness
Like a thief in the night
In this world of shadows where demons reside
We paint a smile upon our face with hate we hide
Time was up when the wiseman died

Six thousand years ago
Six thousand years ago
Six thousand years ago
Six thousand years ago
Six thousand years ago
Six thousand years ago
Six thousand years ago
Six thousand years ago
