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
