Oh, oh, people of the earth
Listen to the warning
The seer he said
Beware the storm that gathers here
Listen to the wise man

I dreamed I saw on a moonlit stair
Spreading his hands on the multitude there
A man who cried for a love gone stale
And ice cold hearts of charity bare
I watched as fear took the old man's gaze
Hopes of the young in troubled days
I see no day, I heard him say
So grey is the face of every mortal

Oh, oh, people of the earth
Listen to the warning
The prophet he said
For soon the cold of night will fall
Summoned by your own hand

Oh, oh, children of the land
Quicken to the new life
Take my hand
Fly and find the new green bough
Return like the white dove

He told of death as a bone white haze
Taking the lost and the unloved babe
Late too late all the wretches run
These kings of beasts now counting their days

From mother's love is the son estranged
Married his own his precious gain
The earth will shake in two will break
And death all around will be your dowry

Oh, oh, people of the earth
Listen to the warning the seer he said
For those who hear and mark my words
Listen to the good plan

Oh, oh, oh, oh
And two by two my human zoo
They'll be running for to come
Running for to come out of the rain

Oh, ooh
Flee for your life
Who heed me not, let all your treasure make you
Oh, fear for your life
Deceive you not the fires of hell will take you
Should death await you

Aaah, people can you here me

Now I know, now I know
Now I know, now I know
Now I know, now I know
Now I know, now I know

The earth will shape into will break into
The earth will shape into will break into
Death all around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around

Now I know
Now I know
Now I know, now I know
Now I know, now I know
Now I know, now I know
Now I know, now I know
Now I know, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow

Listen to the mad
Listen to the man
Listen to the mad
Listen to the mad man

God, give you grace to purge this place
And peace all around may be your fortune

Oh, oh, children of the land
Love is still the answer, take my hand
The vision fades, a voice I hear
'Listen to the madman'

Oooh, but still I fear and still dare not
Laugh at the madman
