Eyes of Nostradamus - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

At night… At night…

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 leaves upon the sea

I am the eyes of Nostradamus

All your ways are known to me

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

Listen and listen well

Think upon it — barbarians, idiots and fools stay far away

Man, man your time is sand

Your ways are leaves upon the sea

I am the eyes of Nostradamus

All your ways are known to me

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 forty-five degrees

And the stone will crack with the force

Man, man your time is sand

Your ways are leaves upon the sea

I am the eyes of Nostradamus

All your ways are known to me

Oh, I had a dream

I thought I was alone

And the veil of all the years

Fell from my eyes like a stone

At night… at night…

Think upon it… think upon it…

At night… at night…

Think upon it… think upon it…
