Lyrics The Prophet - Emperor

The Prophet

… and as if awaken from eternal sleep
He sought a mentor
For he no longer knew his position
«It is time after miracles
And I am its prophet
I have not come to cure
But to bear witness decease»
«It is the place where blood and soil
Lie beyond the boundaries of the sun
And I am its prophet
I cast the shadow
I absorb the light»
«I am the prophet
I bear witness
I absorb
I cry»
«As I die
I shall burst wide open
As I die
I shall release the apocalypse
My prophecy
Thus, I hold on to faith
Thus, I keep the hope
That it will prosper
And devour»
«It is time after miracles
And I am its prophet
I have not come to cure
But to bear witness decease»
… and pain joined his urge to perceive
