Do We Remember?

I am just a little boy
Look back on my story
Behind a thousand centuries
Like an old forgotten toy

Am I real or just a forgery
A million books of mystery
A dinausaurus flying high
Above a holy cross or an old Rabbi

What do we remember?
What was left by all our fathers?
What will we obtain
When we reach the end of an endless game?

Every chapter of my memoirs
Brings me pleasant memories
But is it all just talk and legends
Locked in vows of secrecy

The great Pharaoh, the United-States
The Sphinx and Madonna
Another candle on a birthday cake
Another page off the agenda

(Chorus)

Carbon 14
Reveals the days of yore
So many tales that we ignore
If we just rely on what we've seen

What will they remember?
When they'll think of us as their fathers?
What will remain
When they'll reach the end of an endless game?
What will they obtain
When we reach the end of an endless game?
What will we obtain
When they'll reach the end of an endless game?
