The Prophet's Song
Oh oh people of the earthListen to the warning the seer he saidBeware the storm that gathers hereListen to the wise manI dreamed I saw on a moonlit stairSpreading his hand on the multitude thereA man who cried for a love gone staleAnd ice cold hearts of charity bareI watched as fear took the old men's gazeHopes of the young in troubled gravesI see no day I heard him saySo grey is the face of every mortalOh oh people of the earth!Listen to the warning the prophet he saidFor soon the cold of night will fallSummoned by your own handAh ah children of the landQuicken to the new life take my handFly and find the new green boughReturn like the white doveHe told of death as a bone white hazeTaking the lost and the unloved babeLate too late all the wretches runThese kings of beasts now counting their daysFrom mother's love is the son estrangedMarried his own his precious gainThe earth will shake in two will breakAnd death all round will be your dowryOh oh people of the earthListen to the warning the seer he saidFor those who hear and mark my wordsListen to the good planOh oh oh oh and two by two my human zooThey'll be running for to comeRunning for to come out of the rainOh flee for your lifeWho heed me not let all your treasure make youOh fear for your lifeDeceive you not the fires of hell will take youShould death await you
