Blind Guardian - Prophecies Lyrics






I can see a crow
On your judgement day
Seems like a sermon
Please come over
Don't come over
Please come over
Here
Welcome the last day of our lives

I will break the circle
Walls, I'll tear them down
And guilt will break the silence
But there is no return
No return
We shall overcome

We will bring you back
To a moment in time
We will reveal and detect
What you are
Precious truth in a cage
It has been captured but safe
And there we'll bind it and
Blind it with lies

The king will come
World will come undone

He is the center of creation
The prophecy
It's a promise to us all

A crow, a storm
Shadows will be rising soon
A crow, a storm
The Nine sing
Once upon a dream ago
We're the ones you've left alone

Now, as we speak
There's a way
There's a door
Come find us
And join us
Come see it and feel it

Doors in and out
You shall be falling
Your mind's still trapped in twilight
Now, catch a glimpse
Shall I get through
They've walked on
To the other side
But how could I know?
I'm drowning
Drowning
Where do I belong?
Drown in shadows
I am the center of creation
They prophecy
It's a promise to us all

A crow, a storm
Shadows will be rising soon
A crow, a storm
The Nine sing
Once upon a dream ago
We're the ones you've left alone

Don't blame me
Don't blame me
It's my lying toad
The Crow and the Hare
They've moved
Further into the unknown

Mark my words
They will be gone
You'll see them playing games, my dear
They've moved along
Cause one day in the afterlife
We'll meet again
They've frowning
Frowning
On your judgement day
They are shadows
They're in the center of creation
They prophecy
It's a promise to us all

A crow, a storm
Shadows will be rising soon
A crow, a storm
The Nine sing
Once upon a dream ago
We're the ones you've left alone

But don't be afraid
There's war beyond the red door
And please ignore their pleas
Just break the seal
Break the seal, find the red door
There's a red
There's a red
There's a fed door
Break the seal, find the red door

The eternal
The infernal
The eternal
We shall better get him back
The eternal
The infernal
The eternal
Will we ever see the light again

  1. M.... ....

    Whoever doesn’t like this song is smoking crack cocaine.

  2. w.... ....

    With WoW Classic coming out in a few months, time to get a fantasy/chant metal playlist together lol guess what song is first on the list ;)

  3. w.... ....

    Something about the pace of this song is just perfect, 93 bpm is a keeper for me

  4. S.... C....

    Baby don't blame me
    Don't blame me
    No more

  5. E.... C....

    How did they did the sounds of the begining?

  6. S.... ....

    they have slowed down a lot. pretty boring really.

  7. J.... D....

    1:53 that fucking riff!

  8. Z.... N....

    dang, the closing.....i came

  9. B.... L....

    This band screams medieval fantasy! *Orgasms*

  10. e.... j....

    Fucking masterpiece! Te amo Hansi!

  11. N.... V....

    OMG that ending is amazing

    N.... V....

    In general, all Blind Guardian closings are amazing 'cause they apply a new melody for it. It's the best band doing so imo.

  12. G.... A....

    This entire album is fucking amazing.

  13. B.... ....

    Masterpiece.

  14. C.... ....

    Oh shit! I just noticed... this is a song about waking up, and taking the red pill... because our minds are 'trapped in twilight'.

    C.... ....

    That's certainly one interpretation. I feel as though this entire album is the continuation of the story told from their earlier album "Imaginations From the Other Side".

    C.... ....

    After listening to "The Last Candle", that seems very plausible

  15. D.... W....

    something doesnt sound right at 02:45 as if the new guitar sound skips

    D.... W....

    All thanks to Charlie Bauerfeind, ruining BG productions for ages now.

    D.... W....

    @Albdruck That gotta be the case, if they sound much better at concerts (even if not counting the additional value from great crowds) than in studio recordings.

  16. T.... ....

    Holy crows! I think this song describes theories about Jon Snow perfectly.

    T.... ....

    CarolAnnePoltergeist Im not sure this is about A Song of Ice and Fire... this is their own rock opera and a continuation of the story of their previous album, Imaginations From the Other Side. I can definately see where youre coming from though.

  17. D.... B....

    anyone else think bioshock infinite when hearing this

    D.... B....

    I personally think of Game of Thrones.

  18. K.... D....

    Isn't this about creation od the Middle Earth ?

  19. B.... R....

    Jesus, they started in the late 80s, and they're still going this strong? You look at pretty much all of their music, and they never lost their touch really at any point. I mean, I haven't heard everything they've ever done yet, because there's just so much of it, but fucking hell.

    B.... R....

    This magical band is loaded with beautiful Spiritual truths in their music catalog. It's very deep so you have to look beyond what people tell you what the songs mean. Don't follow "labels" of what other people say the songs mean as the mind can only label things at the surface of images and is blind, as these songs all mean YOU in many deep ways that the left-brain thinking ego mind of thought cannot see or understand.

    In one of my Ayahuasca ceremonies after total surrender of the ego as I surpassed the illusions of death, eye was given the sword of light from the Universe. The sword of Light came through me in magical beauty as I was downloaded massive amounts of knowledge love and wisdom through my heart chakra. This magical sword is far beyond how you see a sword in a picture in the illusions of images as this sword is multi-dimensional as I became "one" with the sword, the sword was me and I was the sword, as ONE in infinite beauty and magic. The sword of Light is only to be used for love and light and becoming in full awareness of my Soul purposes and missions on this planet to help awaken humanity out of the countless illusions of society. Not a sword that can ever be used to harm anyone or anything.

    And through that experience I was taken back to the "somewhere far beyond" album that I listened to as a young man in the early 1990's, and Mother Ayahuasca showed me this Blind Guardian album cover and she said to me: " You see Robert, You have always been one of the chosen ones, and you will always be one of the chosen ones" .. and she showed me what a sword really means (that has absolutely nothing to do with what silly humans think a sword means as the blind human mind takes everything beautiful and sacred and twists it in countless lies)..

    Blind Guardian's "Somewhere Far Beyond" album cover is an Ayahuasca circle, with the Shaman playing Ayahuasca icaro's at the top through some kind of flute in the shape of an Ayahuasca vine on his chest, the flute at the bottom pointing to the light at the center of the circle. And he's elevated above everyone else sitting on a stool and wearing a crown (not just a hood like the others). And he also has a condor sitting on his shoulder (the highest flying bird that also has the ability to shift between Spiritual dimensions). In Ayahuasca art you will see the condor depicted quite often, and for infinite good reasons. Ayahuasca is the oldest and purest, and is by far the most effective form of Spiritual practice on the planet. Nothing could be more obvious as you listen to that album ;-)

    I so clearly remember as a child listening to heavy metal during the 1980's, & entire worlds opened up for me, bands such as Iron Maiden, Testament and other great bands such as "Death" and Queensryche ( "Roads To Madness" by Queensryche for example is an Eternal Spiritual Truths classic), etc. A little later on in the early 1990's I got into the beauty of Blind Guardian with their beautiful album 'Somewhere Far Beyond". So many beautiful things that fake bands like metallica and ac/dc could never come close to offering. I never understood when people would tell me that Heavy Metal music is far too heavy to get into and too overwhelming. I always laughed, since I was a child, how people would tell me that this isn't music, but only loud cannons firing.

    I ALWAYS laughed as they tried so hard to sway me, but could never sway me an inch. From family members to friends to pathetic pastors in churches (and let me tell you that you will NEVER find more fake people on the planet than fear-monger pastors and priests in churches), as nobody hates our beautiful Mother Earth and Nature and divides people's more with hatred than pastors in churches, and they mostly hate themselves. And I never once cared for their blind and pathetic opinions, I always laughed hysterically inside. I always laughed hysterically how they couldn't "get it." . Because to me, when listening to heavy metal, it was always a blissful sweet symphony of beauty !!

    For me, it was always so soft, and wonderful, so welcoming, and Magical !! I feel so sorry for the humans that have no capability to ever understand the beauty of real heavy metal music, because heavy metal has so many beautiful Spiritual messages from the infinite Universe that the blind ego-based mind of duality is afraid to see, and afraid to understand.

    Mother Ayahuasca showed me in infinite ways how Heavy Metal music was so vital and so beautiful in so many magical ways for my Spiritual growth. And this magical band of beauty, Blind Guardian, was absolutely Massive and monumental for my Spiritual journey of the Universe of be-ing and infinite truths of beauty of Light and Spirit. ;-) .. Mother Ayahuasca showed me how my Soul always chose the right bands and the right music, far beyond my mind. Intuitively I knew it all along... but my goodness Mother Ayahuasca showed me so many deep Spiritual truths in deeper ways of infinite understandings of Spirit, that the blind ego-mind that lives in the illusion of time and the illusions of duality, is totally incapable of understanding.. <3

    Blind Guardian is a very special and very blessed band that the infinite multi-dimensional Universe of Spirit respects and holds very highly. Be in full Gratitude as the infinite Universe of Spirit is speaking to you very deeply through these amazing songs and true Art .
    Eye am so grateful to the infinite enchanted multi-dimensional Universe for having the priceless experiences of growing up in the 1980's !! Infinite endless eternal GRATITUDE !! <3

    B.... R....

    I listened to "Wheel of Time" and that song intrigued me so much, I bought the first book immediately. I'm on the third book now. I use Kindle and I also listen to it on Audible.

    B.... R....

    This is my first time listening to this album, so I'm not counting it yet, but so far albums 4, 5, 6 are the best (Somewhere far Beyond, IftOS, Nightfall in Middle Earth) it seems to be their golden age. I can't stand their first album (too dull), and I was quite disappointed by A Twist in the Myth (I grew on me slowly), but all that being said, they are the only band I spent 100s of hours listening to, nothing comes close.

    B.... R....

    earlier albums were better. a lot faster and heavier.

    B.... R....

    Pretty Maids is also like Blind Guardian. Came out in 1985 and have released albums (and grown in popularity) every year until November 2019 (their latest).

  20. S.... ....

    I have a theory. You know how on Imaginations From the Other Side, the songs 'Bright eyes' and 'And the Story Ends' are about the child and the mirror? Well here's what I think. 

    The song 'And the Story Ends' is about him having a choice whether to go through the portal or stay: (Lyrics; "Come with me and join me, a new life's waiting for you. Jump through the mirror, leave fear behind" and then further into the song, it says "It's time for your choice"), but it never really tells you which one he chooses (as far as I know). But there's a strange line that doesn't make sense at the end of the song. The line is "At least, I found a friend".. maybe he's referring to the reflection of himself in the mirror.. - because he didn't go through.

    But on this song, Prophecies, the chorus goes "The nine sing", referring to the people beyond the red mirror, "Once upon a time ago, we're the one's you've left alone". Maybe he chose to not go, and left them behind.. 

    Or this theory could be totally wrong, and it's referring to something else, but my points are still relevant to the story of the child/person (he/she grew older).

    S.... ....

    +Stuwie Yes Hansi confirmed this

    S.... ....

    Man i wish i remembered this better but i saw Blind Guardian in concert and during their introduction to this song, they talked a lot about a crow, hare, and i think the toad but i really don't remember the details. whatever the story behind the song, i think those animals are important.

    S.... ....

    @Tyler Peterson The animal name represent the gods, I think. If you buy BTRM limited edition, you get a book where you can read all about it. It has a short story, my brother purchased it. It also has amazing graphical work (same guy who does the album artwork). Look it up!

    S.... ....

    I cannot invest the time right now required to give you the explanation in a typed format but we could listen to it together and talk.

    S.... ....

    the nine are the idealist

  21. P.... ....

    Best Blind Guardian song ever!

  22. J.... B....

    +Jaime Eduardo A mi me parece un disco cojonudo. es verdad que estoy de acuerdo contigo en algunas cosas, sobretodo en que es un disco que no entra a la primera y eso pasa con un sinfin de albumes. en mi opinion son buenos temas, muy elaborados y si me parece un metal renovado. Estoy un poco fuera de la actualidad, quizas me podrias ayudar y recomendarme algun grupo.

  23. C.... 0....
