10. Visions (Southern Cross)


I have seen the future of mankind

The wisdom of my prophecies you'll find

Follow the truth and be careful

Are we the last?

Hundred years has passed what have we done

Inconceivable damage under the sun

I think it's too late to change the man

We are the last


The world keeps turning while people yearn for more

Mother Nature is crying for change

Time will come when we all must pay for what we have done

Are you prepared for that?


As we are reaching the end of the century,

there's messages we can send

Be strong and bold and never lose your mind

'cause we are the last


The world keeps turning while people yearn for more

Mother Nature is crying for change

Time will come when we all must pay for what we have done

Are you prepared for that?


The signs of the end I see

Let them hear my voice in every corner of the world

Take heed of the warnings that I give

I have seen the Southern Cross forming in the sky


"There shall be heard in the air the noise of weapons,

and in the same year the divines shall be enemies.

They shall unjustly put down the holy laws,

and by thunder and war, true believers shall die"

(Nostradamus: Century IV:43)


"For forty years the rainbow shall not appear

For forty years it shall be seen every day

The parched earth shall wax drier every day

and a great flood when it shall appear"

(Nostradamus: Century I:17)

After us the road goes on forever

Many changes lie along the path

That's the price we pay for our selfishness

We are headed for the end


"From the skies shall come the powerful king

Before and after the Mars reigns at will

Not far from the great age of Millennium

Buried ones shall come out of their graves"

(Nostradamus: Century X:72,74)

When the comet tears out the sky,

you and I must die

After all this, the time will come for the chosen ones

to rise from their graves to be free again


The beast is gone forever, there's no more pain

Instead so many things for us to attain

The sun is shining brightly after the rain

The land is green and full of life again

The sorrows wiped away now

It's time to smile

and learn from the past

Together we will try


"Twenty years of reign of the moon having past

Seven thousand years another shall hold his monarchy

When the sun shall resume his days past,

then is fulfilled and ends my prophecy"

(Nostradamus: Century I:48)
