  • I remember I was asking why
    And someday you said I'd know
    All these years, of fighting hard
    And now it's finally come too close

    I can't believe it's now happening to me
    Oh, couldn't it wait a few hundred years
    Destiny can't rest you see, now it's time
    Time to cry your tears! Now cry!

    The child of centuries, forgotten in time
    You talk in circles of rhyme
    Seer of places future and past
    The warning you gave us is surely our last

    Warning!
    Behold the child, his pointing hand
    Is raised in solemn grace
    His eyes once wide with learning wonder
    Now leave stains upon his face

    Now see the hands of the working man
    He's leaning back against the wall
    Once busy hands are idle now
    Standing ready for the fall! Our fall!

    The signs will come as days past by
    For those that claim to see
    The blind will stay not choosing to die
    Not believing the visions I've seen
