Prophecy - Live at Wacken Open Air 2007

I can see clearly now, a painful vision indeed
 An attack on hallowed ground, from high above
 Alien to us, the species known as man
 A serious threat, in the eyes of the Elder
 So heed my warning, before our own existence falls near extinct
 Our culture is lost in ancient mystery, covered in the sands of time
 A sacred few survive the massacre this night
 In secret they will meet a new society
 Ten thousand years from now, a child will be born
 I've seen the vision, the writing on the wall
 He'll walk the Earth, two thousand years or more
 Paving the way, for mankind's fall
 So there is hope you see, but we must act with great speed
 Assemble the chosen, the ones to lead, and morph them in the likeness of man
 Oppressed for centuries, await the prophecy
 The child will set us free, reclaim it rightfully
 We'll take their identity and live among them free
 All the while, plotting events that mold their history
 We'll build the perfect beast with the knowledge that they seek
 If it takes ten thousand years, we never will retreat
 Assassins we will be, through human history
 Jesus Christ to Kennedy, the Domino Decree
 Disciples of the Watch, prepare the coming curse
 If it takes ten thousand years, we never will retreat
 And so, our world is doomed, we'll lay claim again some day
 There is hope, in the birth of one, so many centuries away
