I lay alone at midnites toll Awakened in a distant dream A demon’s laugh, an angel’s cry A martyr’s painful scream Shadow of the future A tragedy to tell His words echo footsteps On his journey out of hell
Listen to my vice you’ll hear it as your own In the fire of my eyes your bloody past unfolds Medieval swords, crusading plunder, poison gas, your fathers under M-16 shread your brother atomic fate you’ll know no other
Centuries have past you by yet time is standing still Your leaders’ lies from evil eyes Still have you at their will Oh foolish ones consumed by pride you hate, you war, your children die A thousand chances through greed are lost Eternal darkness will be the cost
Your tragedies repeat themselves How blind can you be With much contempt I leave this world To fester in disease Pray forgiveness sinful ones, Before the trumpets blow Or wait until the final hour An I will welcome you below
