Some say he's a prophet Others - he's fake
Now you've heard his name Speaks of death and slaughter Hope there's some mistake

All through the centuries The world has heard his name His visions came at night They came to haunt his life
There was danger they sent him away Traditional healing the knowledge he gained Put to use for the poor, the sick and the lame And those who were less than this man Were frightened by all of the things that he knew Could it be that his power was not of this time ? Now you know his name He will not bleed you like others Try ways to save you from the pain And the torture To save you from the grave
Some say he's a prophet Others - he's a fake
Now you've heard his name Speaks of death and slaughter Hope there's some mistake
We live in fear of things We don't understand With our superstitious minds We're the blind leadind the blind
All through the centuries The world has heard his name His visions came at night They came to haunt his life
Some say he's a prophet Others - he's a fake
Don't you listen to fools I hear you screaming
Speaks of death and slaughter Hope there's some mistake
All of those who were frightened by this man Some say he's a prophet Others - he's a fake
Oh, you know this name - he will come Speaks of death and slaughter Hope there's some mistake
You will be lost, lost in despair Oh, here come the visions again
