There's a message written in the glory
It was there before time began
There's a secret hidden in the story
The final link between God and man
Wheels are turnin'
Souls are learnin'

I met a man
In his eyes was the knowing
He threw the bones in the soft moonlight
Felt the power of the bad days a-growin'
He shed his blood while the whole world cried

The whole world's cryin'
Innocence dyin'

We gotta know
Bad days are a-comin'
See the birds rise on the tide
Black clouds are a-growin'
They will pass and the Sun will rise

In a trance I could see the future
Living in the flicker of the firelight
On the wind I could hear the whisper
Trouble days are comin'
Gotta stand and fight

Stand and fight
When the time is right

You were born to the sign of the danger
Destiny's gonna be your bride
It's written you'll be freed by a stranger
You'll know his name when the time is right

Though war is ragin'
Times are changin'

Bad days are a-comin'
See the birds rise on the tide
Black clouds are a-growin'
They will pass and the Sun will rise

(Innocence dyin')
(Innocence dyin')
(Innocence dyin')
(Innocence dyin')

We gotta know
Bad days are a-comin'
See the birds rise on the tide
Black clouds are a-growin'
They will pass and the Sun will rise
(They will pass and the Sun will rise)

Bad days are a-comin'
See the birds rise on the tide
Black clouds are a-growin'
They will pass and the Sun will rise
(They will pass and the Sun will rise)

(They will pass and the Sun will rise)
(They will pass and the Sun will rise)
