Prophecy

[Verse 1]

I am the darkness

Born out of light

I am the force, the fire

That burns here tonight

Bringing the future

To all mankind

Guider of life of death

The sight for the blind

[Pre-Chorus]

Your future lies within my eyes

What I predict will terrify

I can't control what comes to be

From the past to the present to eternity

[Chorus]

I am Nostradamus

Do you believe

I am Nostradamus

That I conceive

[Verse 2]

Master of chaos

Anger and rage

I hold the key

My presence will unlock the cage

I am your witness

The one who can tell

Bearing the sword, the shield

To your heaven from hell

[Pre-Chorus]

As I unfold the mystery

I change the course of history

With premonitions from the void

Will you live? Will you die?

Will your worlds collide?

[Chorus]

I am Nostradamus

The hand of fate

I am Nostradamus

With love and hate

[Bridge]

Lost in this vortex

The mystery begins

Will you be victim

Saved from your sins

Time is illusion

Trapped in the skies

Destiny's calling

Here from my eyes

[Guitar Solo: Glenn Tipton]

[Spoken]

A gift that would be the envy of all mankind

To see what no other could, great visions of the future

Or would a curse be bestowed on the boy

The boy whose name was Nostradamus

[Chorus]

I am Nostradamus

Do not forsake

I am Nostradamus

Your life's at stake

I am Nostradamus

The lightning rod

I am Nostradamus

The voice of God

[Outro]

Celestial comets

Reign towards earth

Alchemy's tempest

Predicting your worth

Pray for deliverance

Escape if you can

For I have borne witness

To the purging of man
