Prophecy (live in Athens)

Prophecy (Live) - Iced Earth

Written by：Iced Earth

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
