I have seen many things
In a lifetime alone

Sprout with dreams, rose with men
With the last one I will fall

Visions of the past
Now tell me of the future

History of mankind
Is going to repeat

It's a prophecy!
It's a prophecy!
It's a prophecy!
It's a prophecy!

Many have come, many have gone
Dying broken and bare

Lost my dreams, lost my hope
In this garden of despair

My crown glows bloody in the autumn sun
No change is in sight till winter's dawn

It's a prophecy!
It's a prophecy!
It's a prophecy!
It's a prophecy!

Snow and rain, sunshine and thunder
Couldn't hurt my bark, but now I wonder
If the storms not better
Had uproot my stem
For that I would have been
Kept from men

It's a prophecy!
It's a prophecy!
It's a prophecy!
It's a prophecy!
