Looking through the keyhole As you hear the thunder roar You see the lightening flashing But you know not what it's for There looks to be a stallion With a rider on it's back You have seen him pass And know that he'll be back He looks to be a wizard Or perhaps a magic man With eyes of liquid fire Golden staff within his hand And he rides above the mountains With the secret that he holds The time has come, the people must be told So shall it be written So shall it be done Came the warning from the prophet And it came to pass before the rising sun He looked upon the thousands That had come to hear him speak He warned them of the darkness Of their evil and their greed But somehow they ignored him Though their faces filled with fear So he turned away and shed a single tear So shall it be written So shall it be done Came the warning from the prophet And it came to pass before the rising sun Well his words had gone unheeded Nothing more that could be done He returned into the mountains From where he had begun Now he watches from the heavens As the void is drawing near And the prophet's words are ringin' All too clear, all too clear, all too clear So shall it be written So shall it be done Came the warning from the prophet And it came to pass before the rising sun So shall it be written So shall it be done Came the warning from the prophet And it came to pass before the rising sun
