Iced Earth Tribute EP III

Prophecy

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
A sacred few survive the massacre this night
In secret they will meet a new society

Ten thousand years from now, a child will be born I've seen the vision, the writing on the wall
He'll walk the Earth, two thousand years or more paving the way, for mankind's fall
So there is hope you see, but 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

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
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
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

Birth Of The Wicked

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
Because 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 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 to 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

The Coming Curse

I walk the Earth just as they planned baptized in fire for my ancient land
The coming curse, your anti-Christ, 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 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 anti-Christ, 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

Forged in the sacred flames on the sixth day of the sixth month in the sixth hour
I am your antiChrist, I will destroy mankind
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

Something Wicked Part 1

I can see clearly now a painful vision indeed
An attempt at genocide, 12 000 years of pain
The human thirst for dominance leads them to Setian ground
The gravest of all threats now exists all galaxies could suffer
Imagine the consequence if Man does succeed
The universe and all that lives will suffer evermore
Like a virus Man will spread through the time continuum
It's a power they can't comprehend a power we must secure
So heed my word a prophecy that's bleak and haunting
Acceptance not fear will pave the wave for life returning
The Elder foreseen In Sacred Flames our world is burning
Yet more things are clear by grand design, punishment unfolding
Faith in the prophecy we'll take this tragedy, unite as one
Fate, show man no sympathy something wicked feeds, thy will be done

Ten thousand souls one for every year of framing
One of thirteen The High Priest and the twelve that council
Charged with our tome Retribution for our loved ones suffering
In secret they'll meet a global network that endures for centuries
Faith in the prophecy we'll take this tragedy, unite as one
Fate, show man no sympathy something wicked feeds, thy will be done

The Dimension Gauntlet/ I Walk Alone

I face the gauntlet as my final test thrusting through the vault of time and space
Intergalactic, interstellar quest from this day forth, I manipulate!
I am the wicked one crowned this day, we celebrate
I walk this Earth two thousand years the demise of man, we consecrate

I am your inner fear your kind refuse to hear
I am the light I am the way
But the fallacies of man are easy to embrace
And I, in purest form I always weather every storm
And though you fail to see the truth is the path that leads to me
Mankind's dishonesty lays them to waste
I will divide I am the truth and I walk alone
Human hypocrisy exacting their fate
I will devour I am the truth and I walk alone

The flaws in your design are breeding fear
Inside your mind and lies lead to disgrace
A failure to reform the failed human race
Mankind's dishonesty lays them to waste
I will divide I am the truth and I walk alone
Human hypocrisy exacting their fate
I will devour I am the truth and I walk alone

Something Wicked Part 3

I walk the earth the wicked one
Baptized in fire vindication only son
Through folds of space and time I've sown my evil seeds
Until mankind is erased my last prolific deed

He walks the earth the wicked one I walk the earth
Injecting our will until man's time is done Your time is done
The Watchers Eye has sealed your fate I've sealed your fate
Upon your deaths The Elder wait I am the one

I am your Antichrist destroyer of mankind
Forged in sacred flames my power is divine
I am your coming curse hellfire in my eyes
For your crimes on my kind the human race will die

I'm the one born of flames your hatred has brought me to this place
This is a dying world I'll bring it new life in form of your dread
In the sixth hour on the sixth day of the sixth month I was born into this world
Now that the wheel's in motion unstoppable force, undaunted by your pleas
There's no sympathy in this soul just hatred within me
