Black Prophecies Lyrics - Darkness Descends - Dark Angel

Back when man had not care for the past 

And little hope for the future 

A man who stood out in the annals of time 

To tell of the actions to come 

The uncanny words of a clinical mind 

Turn of centuries bore his truth 

A mysterious being with a curious gift 

Nostradamus - chosen one 

His talent for reaching with a gaze 

Into the future unknown 

Conclusions drawn from inner haze 

As the seeds of time were sewn 

The fires, the plagues, the "men of blood" 

Foretold by prophetic eye 

Scourges upon lands he never stood 

Predicting our race to die 

Seeing the days 

Of hideous plague 

When nature released disease upon human race 

The damage was done 

Black death had won 

Pestilence, the start of armageddon 

Torment and fire 

London expired 

The English lands became a massive funeral pyre 

Ruinous blaze 

The city was razed 

Due to the great London's fire, life was denied 

Now the people today understand and take heed 

His truthful words of the future they've seen 

The one who knew 

Where we'd stand 

In centuries ahead of where he roamed the land 

He'd seen the fear 

Upon the earth 

Hatred, death, and pain, four-hundred years worth 

A witness to 

Brutality 

And evil warmongers insanity 

His written words 

Upon the page 

Black prophecies!!! 

Nostradamus envisioned saviours of hate 

To reign subservient mass 

Attempting to alert us before it's too late 

We witnessed the evil that passed 

We watched all the wretched torment inflicted 

And shook our heads with grief 

And understood then what the seer predicted 

Beyond our conscious belief 

At war with a sick brain, Hitler was known 

To render a massive injustice 

Striking the Hebrews a mighty deathblow 

Guaranteeing his fate in the abyss 

The wars, the concentration camps 

Foretold, prophetic eye 

When the doomsayer became entranced 

He saw when our race will die 

Sinister minds 

Hate had then blind 

To the slaughter of innocent people - insidious crime 

Walking the earth 

The devil's rebirth 

The fuhrer the second son, Napoleon being the first 

Both antichrists 

Brought anguish and strife 

Ruling the empires with a criminal sickening spite 

Gaseous showers 

With Hitler empowered 

Innocent Jewish honor forever raped and deflowered 

Now the people today understand and take heed 

His truthful words of the future they've seen 

The one who knew 

Where we'd stand 

In centuries ahead of where he roamed the land 

He'd seen the fear 

Upon the earth 

Hatred, death, and pain, four-hundred years worth 

A witness to 

Brutality 

And evil warmongers insanity 

His written words 

Upon the page 

Black prophecies!!! 

Back when man had not care for the past 

And little hope for the future 

A man who stood out in the annals of time 

To tell of the actions to come 

The uncanny words of a clinical mind 

Turn of centuries bore his truth 

A mysterious being with a curious gift 

Nostradamus - chosen one 

His talent for reaching with a gaze 

Into the future unknown 

Conclusions drawn from inner haze 

As the seeds of time are sewn 

In the year 1999 and seven months 

>From the sky will come the great king of terror 

Nostradamus watches from beyond 

Waiting for our race to die 

Third war 

Final scar 

Soon the obliteration will be total, leaving no more 

Milleneum two 

Will not be renewed 

The bodies, corpses and souls will then be exhumed 

Nuclear fire 

The earth has expired 

The worldy lands became a massive funeral pyre 

Ruinous blaze 

The landscape is razed 

Due to the nuclear winters' frost, life is denied 

Now the people today understand and take heed 

His truthful words of the future they've seen 

The one who knew 

Where we'd stand 

In centuries ahead of where he roamed the land 

He'd seen the fear 

Upon the earth 

Hatred, death, and pain, four-hundred years worth 

A witness to 

Brutality 

And evil warmongers insanity 

His written words 

Upon the page 

Black prophecies!!!...
