Lyrics Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Eyes Of Nostradamus

At night - they will think they have seen the sun

When they see the mad half pig man

At night - screams, battles seen fought in the sky

And beasts will be heard to speak

Man, man your time is sand

Your ways are lives upon the sea

I am the Eyes of Nostradamus

All your ways are known to me

Driven back - the eagle back around the tents

Will be chased by the other birds

Driven back - with the sound of cymbals and bells

Will give sense to the senseless world

Think upon it - all of you who may read this verse

Listen and listen well

Think upon it - barbarians, idiots, fools stay far away

Oh, I had a dream

I thought I was alone

And the veil of all the years

Fell from my eyes like a stone

From the ground the seven year child

And a fire will come to the earth

From the sky at fourty-five degrees

And the stone will crack with the force

Oh, I had a dream

I thought I was alone

And the veil of all the years

Fell from my eyes like a stone
