Eyes of Nostradamus
CHORUS
Man, man your time is sandYour ways are lives upon the seaI am the Eyes of NostradamusAll your ways are known to me
Driven back - the eagle back around the tentsWill be chased by the other birdsDriven back - with the sound of cymbals and bellsWill give sense to the senseless world
CHORUS
Think upon it - all of you who may read this verseListen and listen wellThink upon it - barbarians, idiots, fools stay far away
CHORUS
Oh, I had a dreamI thought I was aloneAnd the veil of all the yearsFell from my eyes like a stone
From the ground the seven year childAnd a fire will come to the earthFrom the sky at forty-five degreesAnd the stone will crack with the force
CHORUS
Oh, I had a dreamI thought I was aloneAnd the veil of all the yearsFell from my eyes like a stone
