Iced Earth - Prophecy Lyrics
I can see clearly now, a painful vision indeedAn attack on hallowed ground, from high aboveAlien to us, the species known as manA serious threat, in the eyes of the ElderSo heed my warning, before our own existence falls near extinctOur culture is lost in ancient mystery, covered in the sands of timeA sacred few survive the massacre this nightIn secret they will meet a new societyTen thousand years from now, a child will be bornI've seen the vision, the writing on the wallHe'll walk the Earth, two thousand years or morePaving the way, for mankind's fallSo there is hope you see, but we must act with great speedAssemble the chosen, the ones to lead, and morph them in the likeness of manOppressed for centuries, await the prophecyThe child will set us free, reclaim it rightfullyWe'll take their identity and live among them freeAll the while, plotting events that mold their historyWe'll build the perfect beast with the knowledge that they seekIf it takes ten thousand years, we never will retreatAssassins we will be, through human historyJesus Christ to Kennedy, the Domino DecreeDisciples of the Watch, prepare the coming curseIf it takes ten thousand years, we never will retreatAnd so, our world is doomed, we'll lay claim again some dayThere is hope, in the birth of one, so many centuries away
