The Prophet's Song

  • Queen

Oh-oh, people of the earth

"Listen to the warning, " the seer he saidBeware the storm that gathers hereListen to the wise man

I 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 bare

I watched as fear took the old man's gazeHopes of the young in troubled graves"I see no day, " I heard him saySo grey is the face of every mortal

Ah-ah, people of the earth"Listen to the warning, " the prophet he saidFor soon the cold of night will fallSummoned by your own hand

Ah-ah, children of the landQuicken to the new life, take my handFly and find the new green boughReturn like the white dove

He 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 days

From 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 dowry

Ah-ah, people of the earth"Listen to the warning, " the seer he saidFor those who hear and mark my wordsListen to the good plan

Ah-ah-ah-ahAnd 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

Ah-ah, people can you hear me?

People can you hear me?People can you hear me?And now I know, and now I knowAnd now I know, I know, I know that you can hear meAnd now I know, now I knowNow I know, now I knowNow I know, now I knowNow I know, now I knowNow I know, now I know

The earth will shake, in two will breakThe earth will shake, in two will breakDeath all around, around, around, aroundAround, around, around, aroundNow I know, now I knowNow I know, now I knowNow I know, now I knowNow I know, now I knowNow I know, now I know, now I know

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
