Jay Chou Love Before The Century Lyrics

Love Before The Century Lyrics

The ancient King of Babylon passed the Hammurabi code of laws 

 

It
was carved on black diorite 3700 years ago 

 

You stand before the
display, looking intently at the carvings

 

I stand aside, quietly
admiring your face, which I deeply adore 



Verse 2

Offerings,
alter, war, bow & arrow, whose past do they belong to? 



I love how
you belong only to me in the midst of this crowd



We pass the
Sumerian Goddess 



And I wish in the name of the Goddess 



My missing goes on like the Tigris River 



When what is
left of the Ancient Civilization is but an illegible language 





The myth becomes a never-ending poem 



*Chorus

My
love for you has been written before this Century 



And it has been
buried in the flatlands of Mesopotamia 



Uncovered after many
centuries



We find the wordings to be still clear & intelligible




My love for you has been written before this century 

 

And it has been buried in the flatlands of Mesopotamia 



The
promise of forever carved in cuneiform 



The promise that has been
eroded for thousands of years, will be re-enacted now 



*Repeat
Verse 1

*Repeat Chorus



I feel exhausted, I am far away from
home 



I am afraid that I will never be by your side again 



*Repeat Chorus



Love Before the Century 



Love
Before the Century
