Something Wicked (A Narrative Soundscape)

Lyrics

[Part I: Prophecy] [Spoken] "I can see clearly now A painful vision indeed An attack on hallowed ground from high above Alien to us, the species known as man A serious threat... in the eyes of the Elder So heed my warning Before our own existence falls near extinct Our culture is lost in ancient mystery Covered in the sands of time The secret few survive the massacre this night In secret they will meet a new society Ten thousand years from now a child will bе born I've seen the vision, the writing on thе wall He'll walk the earth two thousand years or more Paving the way for mankind's fall So there is hope, you see We must act with great speed Assemble the chosen, the ones to lead And morph them in the likeness of man Oppressed for centuries Await the prophecy The child will set us free Reclaim it rightfully" [Spoken] "We'll take their identity And live among them free All the while plotting events That mold their history We'll build the perfect beast With the knowledge that they seek If it takes ten thousand years We never will retreat Assassins we will be through human history From Jesus Christ to Kennedy, the Domino Decree Disciples of the Watch, prepare the coming curse If it takes ten thousand years We never will retreat" [Instrumental Interlude] [Spoken] "And so our world is doomed We'll lay claim again some day There is hope in the birth of one... So many centuries away" [Clock Sound] [Part II: Birth of the Wicked] [Spoken] "Daylight breaks hard on sacred ground For centuries, we've questioned them of his birth But in this hour, on this day, the Elder knew Years of madness must now subdue Order must be enforced to hide the truth Cause on this day, in this hour, it's coming true Child of the wicked and ancient man Baptized in black magic, their Master Plan Born of the Watch, his prophecy, by their command Conceived of the Beast and in stars above We'll shape and guide him with undying love Born of the Watch, through sands of time, by their command So, behold the birth, the wicked child Born of the Beast, in eastern sands He will arise, he will divide He has the power to bring the end It's up to us now to seal his fate Marked with the proper math, the child's none too late Blessed by the Beast, our chosen one was born this day He'll rise from the ashes of our dying race Manipulate history, time and space The Elder, men of the Watch, professed this day So, behold the birth, the wicked child Born of the Beast, in eastern sands He will arise, He will divide He has the power to bring the end" [Part III: The Coming Curse] [Instrumental Interlude] [Spoken] "I walk the Earth just as they planned Baptized in fire for my ancient land The coming curse, your Antichrist I am the Watcher's eye I vindicate and cleanse the earth of all mankind For many years I've walked among you Through the folds of time and space Kingdoms fall, leaders die as I see fit And I devour souls of those that pose a threat I walk the earth another day The wicked one that comes this way Savior to my own, Devil to some Mankind falls, something wicked comes I bide my time, planning your fate With bated breath, the Elder wait The coming curse, your Antichrist I am the Watcher's eye For your crimes on our kind You all will die! I walk the earth another day The wicked one that comes this way Savior to my own, Devil to some Mankind falls, something wicked comes" [Instrumental Interlude] [Spoken with Latin Chant in Background] "Forged in the sacred flames On the sixth day of the sixth month" (Oh-eeh) "In the sixth hour" (In Deus Lux oh-oh In Deus Rex oh-oh) (Eeh Antichristi) "I am your Antichrist" (Oh-oh a nostri Vita in damnus in vita sancta) "I will destroy mankind" (Oh-oh, oh-oh) (Oh-eeh, eeh) "Born of the Beast and flames I will devour, I will divide Hellfire rages in my eyes Blood will fall like rain this night The coming curse, the Antichrist I am the Watcher's eye I vindicate and cleanse the earth of all mankind I walk the earth another day The wicked one that comes this way Savior to my own, Devil to some Mankind falls, something wicked comes!"
