Lyrics
In days of old
In the past
When the books were untold
When knowledge was hidden
Speak of a world crushed by sin.
Describing a world oppressed by sin
"The people will mourn
Prophesying that people will grieve
of a war to be born"
Anticipating a forthcoming war
Nobody would listen to him.
No one paid attention to his warnings
Think back in time
Reflecting on the past
When the future you find
When the future is uncertain
Is so faint that it's too hard to see.
The future is unclear and challenging to perceive
Don't disavow his word
Do not reject or ignore his message
For the truth must be heard
Because the truth needs to be acknowledged
Cause the preacher tells visions he sees.
The preacher shares visions he has witnessed
In 1906
Referring to the year 1906
Like the future predicts
Predicting the future
The city will crumble to the bay
Foreseeing the city's destruction into the bay
Then what's in store
Questioning what will happen when nations go to war
When the worlds go to war?
Peace will only come after the war is over
Peace will have come another day
Then came the one
Referring to a significant figure in 1941
In the year of '41
Warfare will illuminate the sky
Warfare would light up the sky
Answering the call of the future for everyone
He beckoned the call
Blinded by the visions in his eyes
Of the future for all
Blinded by what's in his eyes
-In days of old
Repeating the theme of the past
When the books were untold
When knowledge was hidden
Speak of a world crushed by sin.
Describing a world oppressed by sin
"The people will mourn
Prophesying that people will grieve
of a war to be born"
Anticipating a forthcoming war
Nobody would listen to him.
No one paid attention to his warnings
Think back in time
Reflecting on the past
When the future you find
When the future is uncertain
Is so faint that it's too hard to see.
The future is unclear and challenging to perceive
Don't disavow his word
Do not reject or ignore his message
For the truth must be heard
Because the truth needs to be acknowledged
Cause the preacher tells visions he sees.
The preacher shares visions he has witnessed
Listen to these words I preach
Listen to the warnings and teachings
Catastrophic lessons they shall teach
These lessons are of catastrophic nature
Listen to these words I preach
Reiteration of the importance of listening
Catastrophic lessons they shall teach
The lessons imparted will be of disastrous consequences
