Dark Angel - Black Prophecies lyrics

[Music: Hoglan/Durkin] [Lyrics: Hoglan] Back when man had not care for the past And little hope for the future A man who stood out in the annals of time To tell of the actions to come The uncanny words of a clinical mind Turn of centuries bore his truth A mysterious being with a curious gift Nostradamus - chosen one His talent for reaching with a gaze Into the future unknown Conclusions drawn from inner haze As the seeds of time were sewn The fires, the plagues, the "men of blood" Foretold by prophetic eye Scourges upon lands he never stood Predicting our race to die Seeing the days Of hideous plague When nature released disease upon human race The damage was done Black d**h had won Pestilence, the start of armageddon Torment and fire London expired The English lands became a ma**ive funeral pyre Ruinous blaze The city was razed Due to the great London's fire, life was denied Now the people today understand and take heed His truthful words of the future they've seen [Chorus] The one who knew Where we'd stand In centuries ahead of where he roamed the land He'd seen the fear Upon the earth Hatred, d**h and pain, four-hundred years worth A witness to Brutality And evil warmonger's insanity His written words Upon the page Black prophecies!!! Nostradamus envisioned saviours of hate To reign subservient ma** Attempting to alert us before it's too late We witnessed the evil that pa**ed We watched all the wretched torment inflicted And shook our heads with grief And understood then what the seer predicted Beyond our conscious belief At war with a sick brain, Hitler was known To render a ma**ive injustice Striking the hebrews a mighty d**hblow Guaranteeing his fate in the abyss The wars, the concentration camps Foretold, prophetic eye When the doomsayer became entranced He saw when our race will die Sinister minds Hate had then blind To the slaughter of innocent people - insidious crime Walking the earth The devil's rebirth The Fuhrer the second son, Napoleon being the first Both Antichrists Brought anguish and strife Ruling the empires with a criminal sickening spite Gaseous showers With Hitler empowered Innocent j**ish honor forever raped and deflowered Now the people today understand and take heed His truthful words of the future they've seen [Chorus] [Guitar Solo: J. Durkin] Back when man had not care for the past And little hope for the future A man who stood out in the annals of time To tell of the actions to come The uncanny words of a clinical mind Turn of centuries bore his truth A mysterious being with a curious gift Nostradamus - chosen one His talent for reaching with a gaze Into the future unknown Conclusions drawn from inner haze As the seeds of time are sewn In the year 1999 and seven months From the sky will come the great king of terror Nostradamus watches from beyond Waiting for our race to die Third war Final scar Soon the obliteration will be total, leaving no more Milleneum two Will not be renewed The bodies, corpses and souls will then be exhumed Nuclear fire The earth has expired The worldly lands became a ma**ive funeral pyre Ruinous blaze The landscape is razed Due to the nuclear winter's frost, life is denied Now the people today understand and take heed His truthful words of the future they've seen [Chorus]
