Lyrics:
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
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 stars above
We'll shape and guide him with undyng love
Born of the watch, through sands of time, by their command
[Chorus]
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
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
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
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
[chorus]
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
[chorus]
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 anti-Christ, 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 anti-Christ, 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
This is my grilling music. Raising a toast to Jon Schaffer. We have your back.
don't be fooled by the shitty image quality of the cover, the audio quality is actually fucking stellar
I just discover this... in 2020
This was back in 1998, is still nowadays, and will always be the best piece of music ever made. Will never get tired of listening. And even if there is a break, when i come back it hits me even harder! Hail Barlow! Hail Schaffer!
Doctor: You have 10 minutes left to live
I had the honor of meeting Iced Earth while Matt Barlowe was still singing for them. Shaking Matt and John's hands was something I will never ever forget. I love this band, and always will. This trilogy is pure awesomeness.
this means only one thing: how important riffs are in metal, period!
These three songs along with Dante's Inferno are the reasons I got into this band almost 6 years ago now, and I've loved every damn minute of music from this band ever since.
everyone saying this is about the Antichrist needs to really know more about the band you are listening to. this is a concept song about their band mascot, Set. the guy on the cover here. when iced earth did the dark saga(concept album about the comic book character, Spawn), they became friends with Spawn creator Todd McFarlane and not only does his company do all of their artwork now, but Todd helped them create their mascot, Set because iced earth always loved Eddie, iron maidens mascot. once the character was created they started working on a back story for Set and even made a comic for him with Todd McFarlane, and this song is a precursor to the character Set and the comic book.
Hearing these tunes while playing Heroes of Might and Magic III over a decade ago...EPICNESS at it's peak
Takes me way back! Metal at its fullest
one of the best live perfomance i have ever seen they play like is not tommorow they feel the metal in their heart and in their mind
This album is a masterpiece
These were 3 favorite songs to listen to in high school! when everybody was like who is iced earth? i was rocking out to these guys and i fucking love them! Also the first 3 iced earth songs i learned on guitar! Rock on man keep iced earths legacy alive!
15:00
Trilogy Masterpiece.
Best 20 minutes ever
I like this epic song better than the entire Framing Armaggeddon/Crucible of Man duology.
I have only one word for this : EPIC!
Impressive, unbelieveable, shivering! Great Metal! Thnx for this marvelous upload!!
