Eyes Of NostradamusAt night - they will think they have seen the sunWhen they see the mad half pig man At night - screams, battles seen fought in the sky And beasts will be heard to speak [CHORUS] Man, man your time is sand Your ways are lives upon the sea I am the Eyes of Nostradamus All your ways are known to me Driven back - the eagle back around the tents Will be chased by the other birds Driven back - with the sound of cymbals and bells Will give sense to the senseless world [CHORUS] Think upon it - all of you who may read this verse Listen and listen well Think upon it - barbarians, idiots, fools stay far away [CHORUS] Oh, I had a dream I thought I was alone And the veil of all the years Fell from my eyes like a stone From the ground the seven year child And a fire will come to the earth From the sky at fourty-five degrees And the stone will crack with the force CHORUS Oh, I had a dream I thought I was alone And the veil of all the years Fell from my eyes like a stone |
