The Prophet Songtext
von Emperor

And as if awaken from eternal sleep
He sought a mentor
For he no longer knew his position

"It is the time after miracles
And I am its prophet
I have not come to cure
But to bear witness of decease"

"It is the place where blood and soil
Lie beyond the boundaries of the sun
And I am its prophet
I cast the shadow
I absorb the light"


"I am the prophet
I bear witness
I absorb
I cry"

"As I die
I shall burst wide open
As I die
I shall release the apocalypse
My prophecy
Thus, I hold on to faith
Thus, I keep the hope
That it will prosper
And devour"

"It is the time after miracles
And I am its prophet
I have not come to cure
But to bear witness"

And pain joined his urge to perceive
