D5         C5                           G5
Now that I know that the right time has come
Bb5                C5        D5
My prediction will surely be true
    C5                    G5
The impending disaster it looms
Bb5                  C5          E5
And the whole of the village is doomed
D5                     B5
Why won't you listen to me
C5            D5        E5     D5                          B5
Is it so hard to understand,   that I am the real seventh son?
C5                           D5
Your life or death on me depends

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

D#5       G#5    C#5            Bb5
I'll take your   life   in my hands
D#5        C#5    G#5               Bb5
Your fate, your  fortune?s in my visions
D#5  G#5    C#5              Bb5
Heed what I  say and you'll see
         C#5                            Bb5
What will be             Please listen to me

D5            C5                  G5
Now that they see the disaster is done
Bb5                  C5         D5
Now they put all the blame unto me
C5                       G5
They feel I brought on a curse
Bb5                      C5
Don't they know that the torment
     E5            D5                     B5
It stays, with me, knowing that I walk alone
Bb5                     D5        E5
Through the eyes of the future I see
D5                             B5
They don't even know what fear is
C5                                     D5
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#5    G#5      C#5          Bb5
I had  their    lives in my  hands
D#5         C#5   G#5                Bb5
Their fate, their fortunes in my visions
   G#5    C#5            Bb5        C#5
No one    believed in my true prophecy
                   Bb5
And now, it's too late.
