Prophecy Lyrics by Iced Earth

Prophecy Lyrics

    I can see clearly now, a painful vision indeed
    An attack on hallowed ground, from high above
    Alien to us, the species known as man
    A serious threat, in the eyes of the Elder

    So heed my warning, before our own existence falls near extinct
    Our culture is lost in ancient mystery, covered in the sands of time

    A sacred few survive the massacre this night
    In secret they will meet a new society

    Ten thousand years from now, a child will be born
    I've seen the vision, the writing on the wall
    He'll walk the Earth, two thousand years or more
    Paving the way, for mankind's fall

    So there is hope you see, but we must act with great speed
    Assemble the chosen, the ones to lead, and morph them in the likeness of man

    Oppressed for centuries, await the prophecy
    The child will set us free, reclaim it rightfully

    We'll take their identity and live among them free
    All the while, plotting events that mold their history
    We'll build the perfect beast with the knowledge that they seek
    If it takes ten thousand years, we never will retreat

    Assassins we will be, through human history
    Jesus Christ to Kennedy, the Domino Decree
    Disciples of the Watch, prepare the coming curse
    If it takes ten thousand years, we never will retreat

    And so, our world is doomed, we'll lay claim again some day
    There is hope, in the birth of one, so many centuries away
