There's a message written in the glory It was there before time began There's a secret hidden in the story The final link between God and man Wheels are turnin' Souls are learnin' I met a man In his eyes was the knowing He threw the bones in the soft moonlight Felt the power of the bad days a-growin' He shed his blood while the whole world cried The whole world's cryin' Innocence dyin' We gotta know Bad days are a-comin' See the birds rise on the tide Black clouds are a-growin' They will pass and the Sun will rise In a trance I could see the future Living in the flicker of the firelight On the wind I could hear the whisper Trouble days are comin' Gotta stand and fight Stand and fight When the time is right You were born to the sign of the danger Destiny's gonna be your bride It's written you'll be freed by a stranger You'll know his name when the time is right Though war is ragin' Times are changin' Bad days are a-comin' See the birds rise on the tide Black clouds are a-growin' They will pass and the Sun will rise (Innocence dyin') (Innocence dyin') (Innocence dyin') (Innocence dyin') We gotta know Bad days are a-comin' See the birds rise on the tide Black clouds are a-growin' They will pass and the Sun will rise (They will pass and the Sun will rise) Bad days are a-comin' See the birds rise on the tide Black clouds are a-growin' They will pass and the Sun will rise (They will pass and the Sun will rise) (They will pass and the Sun will rise) (They will pass and the Sun will rise)
