Now that I know that the right time has come
Bb5Bb5        C5C5    D5D5
My prediction will surely be true
  C5C5          G5G5
The impending disaster it looms
Bb5Bb5         C5C5     E5E5
And the whole of the village is doomed
D5D5           B5B5
Why won?t you listen to me
C5C5      D5D5    E5E5   D5D5             B5B5
Is it so hard to understand,  that I am the real seventh son?

Suffering and pain impending disaster
Souls crying the devil?s laughter
Heard the cry of the seven whistlers
Lucifer smiles, looks on and waits

I?ll take your  life  in my hands
D#5D#5    C#5C#5  G#5G#5        Bb5Bb5
Your fate, your fortune?s in my visions
D#5D#5 G#5G#5  C#5C#5       Bb5Bb5
Heed what I say and you?ll see
     C#5C#5              Bb5Bb5
What will be       Please listen to me

D5D5      C5C5         G5G5
Now that they see the disaster is done
Bb5Bb5         C5C5     D5D5
Now they put all the blame unto me
C5C5            G5G5
They feel I brought on a curse
Bb5Bb5           C5C5
Don?t they know that the torment
   E5E5      D5D5           B5B5
It stays, with me, knowing that I walk alone
Bb5Bb5           D5D5    E5E5
Through the eyes of the future I see
D5D5               B5B5
They don?t even know what fear is
C5C5                   D5D5
Don?t they know I?m the one who is cursed

Purgatory beckons souls lost forever
Life after death or heaven hereafter
Heard the call of the seven whistlers again
Now Lucifer laughs, hell awaits

D#5D#5  G#5G#5   C#5C#5     Bb5Bb5
I had their  lives in my hands
D#5D#5     C#5C#5  G#5G#5        Bb5Bb5
Their fate, their fortunes in my visions
  G#5G#5  C#5C#5      Bb5Bb5    C#5C#5
No one  believed in my true prophecy
          Bb5Bb5
And now, it?s too late.
