The Prophet Lyrics


Everyone is silent

The blind prophet speaks of war

He brings word of devastation

Telling how humanity will be no more

He was gazing at the Sun

Until all he saw was red

He kept gazing at the Sun

Until his old eyes bled

Dying when they found him

His scorched skin burning red

He traded his sight for visions

His eyes were black and dead

Now everyone is silent

As he paints the tales of war

and his words of devastation

how death will rule forevermore

Visions brought death and decay

Gazing at the Sun

Violence, starvation and pain

He kept gazing at the Sun

Followed his delusions

Became messengers of death

An insane man's call to arms

They fought till the dying breath

He kept gazing at the Sun every day

All he ever saw was blood

So on his people slay

And keep dying in the mud

Visions brought death and decay

He kept gazing at the Sun

Violence, starvation and pain

Until his old eyes bled

Slaves of a mad man's desire

The prophet who speaks to the Sun

He kept gazing as they died and his eyes bled

He'll be gazing till the day he's dead

The old man's mind is fried

Lies, lies

His sanity gone with his eyes

Lies, lies

Everyone listens

As the prophet speaks of war

He brings word of devastation

Telling how humanity will be no more

He was gazing at the Sun

Until all he saw was red

He kept gazing at the Sun

Until his old eyes were dead

Reborn when they found him

His scorched skin burning red

He traded sanity for visions

His mind was blank and dead

Now everyone is silent

As they buy his tales of war

Empty words of devastation

Death and hate forevermore

Visions brought death and decay

He kept gazing at the Sun

Violence, starvation and pain

Gazing at the Sun

Visions say tomorrow

We'll be nevermore

Silent whispers from the Sun

Doom is at our door
