The Leader
I looked to the North, and I turned to the West,
For a sign, a light in the
sky,
Oh the message is clear, that the time is near,
For a leader to come again;
A circle of stones on the head
of a hill,
Tonight is where it will be,
In this desolate place, we all stand and wait,
For a leader to come again,
yes a leader will come again,
For it is written, that a leader will be here,
And then a vision, left me blinded
by the light,
And it started right in front of my eyes...
The Vision
And I saw a burning chariot,
And the four horsemen
of the apocalypse
Waiting on high,
And I heard the thunder rolling in,
And behold our leader on a pale horse riding
in the sky;
And I saw this land a battlefield,
With a hundred thousand men,
Fighting hand to hand,
And I heard
the sounds of victory,
And the rivers ran red with the blood of our enemies,
And I saw the fire from the sky,
I
saw fire, and I saw paradise,
Fire from the sun, I saw fire,
And I saw Alpha and Omega;
Fire, I saw fire,
And
I saw paradise,
Fire, I saw fire;
What About Me?
I am left in the night, trembling with fear,
I have
seen to the future, and the future is here,
Our leader will bring victory, but our land is in flames,
And as the final
sounds of battle disappear, I had to say,
What about me, and you, and the ones that we love,
What about me, and
you, and the ones that we love,
Well what about us?
