about

The Prophecy - a Latin-influenced progressive rock song 🎸

The Prophecy is a song about a fortune teller or someone giving a prophecy about the need to follow the heart and not give into temptations and distractions, keep focused on the prize, and don't live a lie.

"Send a message to your mind that its time to rise" "let the Phoenix rise"
"some will say your light is much too bright, don't let the jealousy stop you in your tracks"
"all your fears will mean nothing in the great light of the one above!"
"you crossed paths for a reason, don't deny what your soul feels"

lyrics

(VERSE)
Tell me now what you see
What is it that your prophecy sees

Heading out into the wild west
Heading out now to find my soul and be blessed
Got my life clued up and im getting on out
Time to make a change and realise the game
People tell me what it is I should see
But im not sure if I believe in your prophecy

Dont turn back
I wont live a lie
Im in need of some real answers this time
No distractions could keep me from my place
Perpetual cycles
Dont turn back
Dont live a lie!

(CHORUS)
I siad now
All your light will shine
Send the message to your mind
That its really time rise
I said now all your fears will subside
Keep on going strong
Don't let the dark night get you down
You will have a beautiful life if you follow the path to the east and the west
Follow the sun
Follow the light of the soul
Keep on going strong
Let the Phoenix rise

(VERSE)
Make me believe
What your prophecy sees
But tell me is it truly real
Ive got to realise and find my own light
Some will say your light is much too bright
Don't let the jelousy stop you In your tracks
No don't turn back
Dont live a lie
No dont live a lie

(CHORUS)
I said now all your light will shine
send a message to your soul that its time to rise
I said now all your fears will mean nothing
In the great light of the one above 🌞

(Solo)

I said now all your light will shine
Keep on going strong and it wont be long
The spirits will try to decieve you
And it will seem like no one will believe you
And for some time nobody will see you
But keep your head up high
Don't give into the dark night

You will find a lemurian lover
She will give you something you have never felt
Yeah
I said you crossed paths for a reason
Don't deny what your soul feels!
If this was meant to be
This was meant to be
Then you will know
See the signs
Follow the path till the end of the line

(Solo)

(RUN UP)
I said the time has come
Tell me now what you prophesied
I've been waiting a long long time
I've been lifting my head out of the sands
If this was meant to be
This was meant to be
Keep on listening to your soul
Don't you loose your faith no no
Keep on the path
Gotta follow the path till the end on the line

Don't you fall in fear
Don't you fall in fear

So tell me now what you prophesied
Is it really real or is it just lies
I've got to know got to follow my path
Gotto get back in the show!

(Solo 2)

I said now
This was meant to be
Fullfill the prophecy
Waitin' for ya to step on up
Get on up
Get on up
Get on up
Rise up phoenix rise

(Stargazing)

Stargazing across a moonlit 🌙 sky
low and behold the universal light
Some say of all the battles lost and won
Are the memmories held in the stones of a dying sun
A dying sun

(Lighting in the air and reality matrix breaking down)

You are my queen!
You are my queen!
My mission
I see my path unfold now
Oh, Fullfill the prophecy
What you waiting for ?
Sometimes we can't see the picture
We gotta listen
Realise sometimes the path is right before your eyes

So tell me now what is it that you see ?
I've been waiting for your prophecy
Gotta follow the path
Ain't gonna give up now
Ain't gonna loose my light
No no
Are you listening ?

Make me a fire 🔥
Build me higher
I've got to see
My prophecy
