Oh Oh people of earth
Listen to the warning
The seer he said
Beware the storm that gathers here
Listen to the wise man.
I dreamed I saw on a moonlit stair
Spreading his hands on the multitude there
A man who cried for a love gone stale
And ice cold hearts of charity bare.
I watched as fear took the old man's gaze
Hopes of the young in troubled graves
I see no day, I heard him say
So grey is the face of every mortal.
Oh Oh people of earth
Listen to the warning
The prophet he said
For soon the cold of night will fall
Summoned by your own hand.
Oh Oh children of the land
Quicken to the new life
Take my hand
Fly and find the new green bough
Return like the white dove.
He told of death as a bone white haze
Taking the lost and the unloved babe
Late too late all the wretches run
These kings of beasts now counting their days.
From Mother's love is the son estranged
Married his own, his precious gain
The earth will shake, in two will break
And death all around will be your dowry
Oh Oh and two by two
My human zoo
They'll be running for to come
Running for to come out of the rain
Oh fear for your life,
Who heed me not
Let all your devils make you
Oh flee for your life,
Deceive you not
The fires of hell will take you
Should death await you.
(Many awesome vocal overlays)
God give you grace to purge this place
And peace all around will be your fortune
Oh Oh children of the land,
Love is still the answer take my hand
The vision fades, the voice I hear
Don't listen to the mad man
But still I fear and still I dare not
Laugh at the mad man
(Toy Koto - Brian May)
