eyes of nostradamus

Singer:manfred mann's earth band

at night - they will think they have seen the sun

when they see the mad half pig man

at night - screams

battles seen fought in the sky

and beasts will be heard to speak

man

man your time is sand

your ways are lives upon the sea

i am the eyes of nostradamus

all your ways are known to me

driven back - the eagle back around the tents

will be chased by the other birds

driven back - with the sound of cymbals and bells

will give sense to the senseless world

think upon it - all of you who may read this verse

listen and listen well

think upon it - barbarians

idiots

fools stay far away

oh

i had a dream

i thought i was alone

and the veil of all the years

fell from my eyes like a stone

from the ground the seven year child

and a fire will come to the earth

from the sky at fourty-five degrees

and the stone will crack with the force

chorus

oh

i had a dream

i thought i was alone

and the veil of all the years

fell from my eyes like a stone
