Текст песни Iron Maiden - The Prophecy

(Murray, Harris)

Now that I know that the right time has come, my prediction will
surely be true
The impending disaster it looms and the whole of the village is doomed
Why won’t you listen to me? Is it so hard to understand
That I am the real seventh son, your life or death on me depends
Suffering and pain impending disaster, souls crying the devil’s laughter
I’ve heard the cry of the seven whistlers, Lucifer smiles looks and waits

I’ll take your life in my hands, your fate your fortune’s in my visions
Heed what I say and you’ll see what will be, please listen to me

(2:22-Solo: Dave Murray)

Now that they see the disaster is done, now they put all the blame unto me
They feel I brought on a curse, don’t they know that the torment it stays
With me knowing that I walk alone, through the eyes of the future I see
They don’t even know what fear is, don’t they know I’m the one
who is cursed

Purgatory beckons souls lost forever, life after death or heaven hereafter
Heard the call of the seven whistlers again, now Lucifer laughs hell awaits

I had their lives in my hands, their fate their fortunes in my visions
No one believed in my true prophecy, and now it’s too late
