Lyrics Eyes of Nostradamus (12") - 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...
