The Prophet Lyrics

The song The Prophet is performed by Emperor in the album named Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire & Demise in the year 2001 .



... 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
