The Prophets Song Lyrics by Queen

The Prophets Song Lyrics

    Oh oh people of the earth, listen to the warning 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 hand to 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 man'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

    Ah ah children of the land, quicken to the new life take my hand
    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 babes
    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 round will be your dowry

    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 lives who heed me not, let all your treasures make
    Oh you fear for your life, deceive you not the fires of hell will take you
    Should death await you...

    Ah people can you hear me?
    And now I know, and now I know
    And now I know, and now I know
    That you can hear me
    And now I know and now I know
    And now I know now I know
    Now I know, now I know
    Now I know, now I know
    Now I know
    The earth will shake, in two will break
    Death all around, around, around, around
    Around, around, around, around
    Now I know, now I know
    Now I know, now I know
    Now I know, now I know
    Now I know, now I know
    Now I know, now I know
    Now I know
    Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo
    Listen to the wise, listen to the wise, listen to the wise
    Listen to the wise, listen to the wise, man
    La, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la
    La, la
    La, la
    Come here, I hear you
    Come here, I hear you
    Come here, I hear you
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
    Listen to the man, listen to the man, listen to the man, listen to the mad man

    God gave you 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!
    But still I fear and still I dare not, laugh at the madman!
