Desecration

"Here lies the bones of the

Most illustrious Michel de Nostradamus

The only one in judgement of

All mortals, worthy to write

With a pen most divine

Under the influence of stars

Of events to come

In the whole wile World

Posterity disturb not his repose"

"You won't touch my throat

With your filthy feet

Whether I'm dead or alive

Do not disturb my eternal peace

For one who does will die

He who drinks the wine from my scull

Will inherit all my power

But beware - the curse will fall upon you

And become your darkest hour"

In the times of 1791

During the French revolution

As the church of Salon tollet the bell

Seven soldiers were approaching

They were drunk from wine and victory

Marching their way home

When nature called an urgent stop

By the shadow

Of the dome

We were brothers in arms

With a mission in life

Standing on holy ground

But the church is just an implement

Of fear to push us round

"Under the oak lightning strikes in Cienne

Long centuries grabbed"

All in a flash of light ...

"Found shall die eye pierced by a spring

doomed by destiny stabbed"

With picks and shovels we broke the piece

Of the tombstone never dared

As the locals gathering in fear

(As the locals gathering in fear

To meet again our seer)

To meet again their seer

So I proposed a brazen toast

Drinking from his scull

I don't believe, I fear no ghost

(He don't believe,

He fears no ghost

Our legend is not dull)

Your legend is so dull

And Lord Mayor himself

Held his speech of rebuke

"Please, let the dead rest in peace"

Heard the prophet of Woe laugh and sing

"I gave you a fair warning"

"Under the oak lightning strikes in Cienne

Long centuries grabbed"

I warned you all ...

"Found shall die eye pierced by a spring

doomed by destiny stabbed"

And later on next morning

By the break of dawn

As the sun of grace revealed it's righteous face

To witness seven soldiers die

A minor death just another stitch

In our violent history

To become my destiny

"Under the oak lightning strikes in Cienne

Long centuries grabbed"

All in a flash light ...

"Found shall die eye pierced by a spring

doomed by destiny stabbed"

I warned you all ...

"Under the oak lightning strikes in Cienne"

Long centuries grabbed"

I'll become you destiny

"Found shall die pierced by a spring"

Now I can see you're a

Part of me

A legend proven true

(Now we can see

He's a part of you)
