The Prophet Songtext
von Eruption

Everyone is silent
In the blind prophet′s mix of war
He brings word of devastation
Telling how humanity'll be no more
He was gazing at the sun
Until all he saw was red
He kept gazing at the sun
Until his old eyes bled

Dying when they found him
His corpse skin burning red
He′d traded his sight for visions
His eyes were black and dead

Now everyone is silent
As he paints the tales of war
And his words of devastation
How death will rule forevermore


Visions brought death and decay
Gazing at the sun
Violence, starvation and pain
He kept gazing at the sun
Followed his delusions
Became messengers of death
An insane man's call to arms
They fought till their dying breath

He kept gazing at the sun every day
All he ever saw was blood
So on his peoples lay
And keep dying in the mud

Visions brought death and decay
He kept gazing at the sun
Violence, starvation and pain
Until his old eyes bled

Slaves of the madman's desire
The prophet who speaks to the sun
He kept gazing as they died and his eyes bled
He′ll be gazing till the day he′s dead

The old man's mind is fried
Lies, lies
His sanity gone with his eyes
Lies, lies


Everyone listens
As the prophet speaks of war
He brings word of devastation
Telling how humanity′ll be no more
He was gazing at the sun
Until all he saw was red
He kept gazing at the sun
Until his old eyes were dead

Reborn when they found him
His corpse skin burning red
He traded sanity for visions
His mind was black and dead

Now everyone is silent
Blessed by his tales of war
And his words of devastation
Death and hate forevermore

Visions brought death and decay
He kept gazing at the sun
Violence, starvation and pain
Gazing at the sun

Visions say tomorrow
Will be nevermore
Silent whispers from the sun
Doom is at our door
Visions say tomorrow
Will be nevermore
Silent whispers from the sun
Doom is at our door
