[Verse 1]
This is a tale that takes its place
In Paris fair, this year of grace
Fourteen hundred eighty two
A tale of lust and love so true
We are the artists of the time
We dream in sculpture dream in rhyme
For you we bring our world alive
So something will survive

[Chorus]
From nowhere came the age of the cathedrals
The old world began
A new unknown thousand years
For man just has to climb up where the stars are
And live beyond life
Live in glass and live in stone

[Verse 2]
Stone after stone, day after day
From year to year man had his way
Men had built with faith and love
These cathedrals rose above
We troubadours and poets sing
That love is all and everything
We promise you, all human kind
Tomorrow will be fine

[Chorus]
From nowhere came the age of the cathedrals
The old world began
A new unknown thousand years
For man just has to climb up where the stars are
And live beyond life
Live in glass and live in stone

From nowhere came the age of the cathedrals
The old world began
A new unknown thousand years
For man just has to climb up where the stars are
And live beyond life
Live in glass and live in stone

[Outro]
But it is doomed the age of the cathedrals
Barbarians wait
At the gates of Paris fair
Oh let them in, these pagans and these vandals
A wise man once said
In two thousand, this world ends
In two thousand, this world ends

One of South Korea’s most beloved solo female artists, Lee Ji-Eun, better known as IU, is a singer-songwriter and actress under the agency Kakao M.

The singer first debuted with the EP Lost and Found in 2008 at the age of 15. She then went on to release two more albums before releasing “Good Day,” in 2010, which became a hit-sensation and brought her to national stardom.

As of March 2014, IU made her fifth No. 1 on the K-Pop Hot 100 Chart, a feat comparable to BIGBANG and EXO.
