[Intro]

Warning...


[Verse 1]

I remember, I was asking why

And someday you said I'd know

All these years of fighting hard

Now you've finally, you've finally come too close

I can't believe it's now happening to me

Oh, now couldn't it wait a few hundred years?

Destiny can't rest, you see

Now it's time, time to cry your tears

Now cry


[Chorus 1]

The child of centuries, forgotten in time

You talk in circles of rhyme

The seer of places future and past

The warning you gave us is surely our last


[Refrain]

Warning

Warning

Warning


[Verse 2]

Behold the child, his pointing hand

When it's raised in solemn grace

His eyes once wide with learning wonder

Now leave stains, leave stains upon his face

Now see the hands of the working man (man!)

He's leaning back, back against the wall

Once busy hands are idle now

Standing ready, ready for the fall

Our fall


[Chorus 2]

The signs will come as days pass by

For those that claim to see

The blind will stay, not choosing to die

Not believing the visions I've seen


[Refrain]

Oh, oh, oh, oh
