BLACK PROPHECIES
|
(Music: Hoglan/Durkin, Lyrics: Hoglan)
|
|
Back when man had not care for the past
|
And little hope for the future
|
A man who stood out in the annals of time
|
To tell of the actions to come
|
The uncanny words of a clinical mind
|
Turn of centuries bore his truth
|
A mysterious being with a curious gift
|
Nostradamus--chosen one
|
His talent for reaching with a gaze
|
Into the future unknown
|
Conclusions drawn from inner haze
|
As the seeds of time were sewn
|
The fires, the plagues, the "men of blood"
|
Foretold by prophetic eye
|
Scourges upon lands he never stood
|
Predicting our race to die
|
|
Seeing the days
|
Of hideous plague
|
When nature released disease upon human race
|
The damage was done
|
Black death had won
|
Pestilence, the start of armageddon
|
|
Torment and fire
|
London expired
|
The English lands became a massive funeral pyre
|
Ruinous blaze
|
The city was razed
|
Due to the great London's fire, life was denied
|
|
Now the people today understand and take heed
|
His truthful words of the future they've seen
|
|
(chorus)
|
The one who knew
|
Where we'd stand
|
In centuries ahead of where he roamed the land
|
He'd seen the fear
|
Upon the earth
|
Hatred, death, and pain, four-hundred years worth
|
A witness to
|
Brutality
|
And evil warmongers insanity
|
His written words
|
Upon the page
|
Black prophecies!!
|
|
Nostradamus envisioned saviours of hate
|
To reign subservient mass
|
Attempting to alert us before it's too late
|
We witnessed the evil that passed
|
We watched all the wretched torment inflicted
|
And shook our heads with grief
|
And understood then what the seer predicted
|
Beyond our conscious belief
|
At war with a sick brain, Hitler was known
|
To render a massive injustice
|
Striking the Hebrews a mighty deathblow
|
|
Guaranteeing his fate in the abyss
|
The wars, the concentration camps
|
Foretold, prophetic eye
|
When the doomsayer became entranced
|
He saw when our race will die
|
|
Sinister minds
|
Hate had then blind
|
To the slaughter of innocent people--insidious crime
|
|
Walking the earth
|
The devil's rebirth
|
The fuhrer the second son, Napoleon being the first
|
|
Both antichrists
|
Brought anguish and strife
|
Ruling the empires with a criminal sickening spite
|
Gaseous showers
|
With Hitler empowered
|
Innocent Jewish honor forever raped and deflowered
|
|
Now the people today understand and take heed
|
His truthful words of the future they've seen
|
|
(chorus)
|
The one who knew
|
Where we'd stand
|
In centuries ahead of where he roamed the land
|
He'd seen the fear
|
Upon the earth
|
Hatred, death, and pain, four-hundred years worth
|
A witness to
|
Brutality
|
And evil warmongers insanity
|
His written words
|
Upon the page

Back when man had not care for the past
|
And little hope for the future
|
A man who stood out in the annals of time
|
To tell of the actions to come
|
The uncanny words of a clinical mind
|
Turn of centuries bore his truth
|
A mysterious being with a curious gift
|
Nostradamus--chosen one
|
His talent for reaching with a gaze
|
Into the future unknown
|
Conclusions drawn from inner haze
|
As the seeds of time are sewn
|
In the year 1999 and seven months
|
>From the sky will come the great king of terror
|
Nostradamus watches from beyond
|
Waiting for our race to die
|
|
Third war
|
Final scar
|
Soon the obliteration will be total, leaving no more
|
Milleneum two
|
Will not be renewed
|
The bodies, corpses and souls will then be exhumed
|
|
Nuclear fire
|
The earth has expired
|
The worldy lands became a massive funeral pyre
|
Ruinous blaze
|
The landscape is razed
|
Due to the nuclear winters' frost, life is denied
|
|
Now the people today understand and take heed
|
His truthful words of the future they've seen
|
|
(chorus)
|
The one who knew
|
Where we'd stand
