The prophecy
by Iron Maiden

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
It is 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
Heard the cry of the seven whistlers
Lucifer smiles looks on 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
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.
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
It is 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
Heard the cry of the seven whistlers
Lucifer smiles looks on 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
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.
