Mini-critique N°126

Paroles :

Oh, oh, people of the 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 hand 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 the earth

Listen to the warning the prophet he said

"For soon the cold of night will fall"

Summoned by your own hand

Ah, ah, 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 round will be your dowry

Ah, ah, people of the earth

Listen to the warning the seer he said

"For those who hear and mark my words"

Listen to the good plan

Ah, ah, ah, ah

And two by two, my human zoo

They′ll be

(Running for to come)

(Running for to come out of the rain)

Oooh!, flee for your life

Who heed me not let all your treasure make you

Oooh!, fear for your life

Deceive you not, the fires of hell will take you

Should death await you

Ah, ah, people can you hear me?

People can you hear me?

People can you hear me?

And now I know, and now I know, and now I know

I know, I know that you can hear me

And now I know, now I know

Now I know, now I know

Now I know, now I know

Now I know, now I know

Now I know, now I know

The earth will shake, in two will break

The earth will shake, in two will break

Death all around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around

Now I know, now I know

Now I know, now I know

Now I know, now I know

Now I know, now I know

Now I know, now I know, now I know

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!

Listen to the wise

Listen to the wise man

Aaah!

Ah, ah!

Ah, ah!

Listen to the man

Listen to the mad man

God give you grace to purge this place

And peace all around may be your fortune

Ah, ah, children of the land

Love is still the answer, take my hand

The vision fades, a voice I hear

"Listen to the madman"

Ooh, but still I fear, still I dare not

Laugh at the madman
