The Prophet's Song Lyrics

Oh Oh people of earth
Listen to the warning
The seer he said
Beware the storm that gathers here
Listen to the wise man.

I dreamed I saw on a moonlit stair
Spreading his hands on the multitude there
A man who cried for a love gone stale
And ice cold hearts of charity bare.
I watched as fear took the old men's gaze
Hopes of the yound in troubled graves
I see no day, I heard him say
So grey is the face of every mortal.

Oh Oh people of earth
Listen to the warning
The prophet he said
For soon the cold of night will fall
Summoned by your own hand.

Oh Oh children of the land
Quicken to the new life
Take my hand
Fly and find the new green bough
Return like the white dove.

He told of death as a bone white haze
Taking the lost and the unloved babe
Late too late all the wretches run
These kings of beasts now counting their days.

For mother's love is the son estranged
Married his own his precious gaze
The Earth will shake in two will break and death all around will be a dowry

Oh Oh people of Earth
Listen to the warning the seer he said
For those who hear and mark my words
Listen to the good man

Oh Oh Oh Oh
And two by two my human zoo
They'll be running forth to come
(Running forth to come)
Outta the rain

Flee for your life
Who heed me not let all your treasure make you
Fear for your life
Deceive you not the fires of hell will take you, should death await you

Oh Oh, people can you hear me
(People can you hear me)
(people can you hear me)
And now I know
And now I know
And now I know
And now I know
I know
And now I know that you can hear me
(And now I know that you can hear me)

(Background type music)

Listen to the wise man

(Background type music)

Come here
I bid you come here

Listen to the man
Listen to the mad man

God give me a space to pass this place
And peace all around may be about you
Oh Oh children of the land
Notice to the answer take my hand

Vision fades a voice I hear
Listen to the mad man

But still I fear and still I dare not laugh at the mad man
