The Prophet's Song/Lyrics

Oh oh people of the earth
Listen to the warningItalic text 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 young in troubled graves I see no day, I heard him say So grey is the face of every mortal

Oh oh people of the 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 Oh, 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 From mother's love is the son estranged Married his own his precious gain The earth will shake in two will break And death all around will be your dow'ry

Oh oh people of the earth Listen to the warning, the seer, he said For those who hear and mark my words Listen to the good plan

Oh oh oh oh and two by two my human zoo They'll be Running for to come Running for to come Out of the rain

Oh, flee for your life Who heed me not, let all your treasure make you Oh, 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 (oh, oh, people can you hear me) (Oh, oh, people can you hear me)

And now I know (now I know) (now I know) And now I know (now I know) (now I know) Now I know that you can hear me (now I know that you can hear me)

Listen to the mad (listen to the mad) Listen to the man (listen to the man) Listen to the mad (listen to the mad) Listen to the mad man (listen to the mad man)

God give you the grace to purge this place And peace all around may be your fortune

Oh oh children of the land Love is still the answer, take my hand The vision fades, a voice I hear Listen to the madman

Oh, but still I fear and still I dare not Laugh at the madman
