Al Stewart - Nostradamus Lyrics
In the east the wind is blowing the boats across the seaAnd their sails will fill the morning and their cries ring out to meOh, OhOh, the more it changes, the more it stays the sameAnd the hand just re-arranges the players in the gameOh, I had a dream, it seemed I stood aloneAnd the veil of all the yearsGoes sinking from my eyes like a stoneA king shall fall and put to death by the English parliament shall beFire and plague to London come in the year of six and twenties threeAn emperor of France shall rise who will be born near ItalyHis rule shall cost his empire dear, Napoloron his name shall beFrom Castile does Franco come and the Government driven out shall beAn English king seeks divorce, and from his throne cast down is heOne named Hister shall become a captain of Greater GermanyNo law does this man observe and bloody his rise and fall shall beMan, man, your time is sand, your ways are leaves upon the seaI am the eyes of Nostradamus, all your ways are known to meMan, man, your time is sand, your ways are leaves upon the seaI am the eyes of Nostradamus, all your ways are known to meIn the new lands of America three brothers now shall come to powerTwo alone are born to rule but all must die before their hourTwo great men yet brothers not make the north united standIts power be seen to grow, and fear possess the eastern landsThree leagues from the gates of Rome a Pope named Pol is doomed to dieA great wall that divides a city at this time is cast asideThese are the signs I bring to you to show you when the time is nighMan, man, your time is sand, your ways are leaves upon the seaI am the eyes of Nostradamus, all your ways are known to me
