Bilingual
I can see clearly now
A painful vision indeed
An attack on hallowed ground from high above
Alien to us, the species known as man
A serious threat in the eyes of the Elder
So heed my warning
Before our own existence falls near extinct
Our culture is lost in ancient mystery
Covered in the sands of time
The secret few survive the massacre this night
In secret, they will meet a new society
Ten thousand years from now, a child will be born
I've seen the vision, the writing on the wall
He'll walk the Earth two thousand years or more
Paving the way for mankind's fall
So there is hope, you see
We must act with great speed
Assemble the chosen, the ones to lead
And morph them in the likeness of man
Oppressed for centuries, await the prophecy
The child will set us free, reclaim it rightfully
ย
We'll take their identity, and live among them free
All the while plotting events that mold their history
We'll build the perfect beast
With the knowledge that they seek
If it takes ten thousand years
We never will retreat
ย
Assassins we will be through human history
Jesus Christ to Kennedy, the Domino Decree
Disciples of the watch, prepare the coming curse
If it takes ten thousand years
We never will retreat
ย
And so our world is doomed
We'll lay claim some day
There is hope in the birth of one
So many centuries away
