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!
