Doomsayer When will they ever learn? Doomsayer I fear that it's too late Oh yeah, too late to escape our fate ♪ You read the scriptures The writing on the wall Omens and portents Predicted we would fall Mooncalves are birthing And there's ergot in the rye Doomsday clock's ticking It's just a matter of time Doomsayer They just don't want to hear Doomsayer Your words fall upon deaf ears Doomsayer They don't wanna see the proof Ooh yeah, they don't wanna know the truth ♪ Oh, it's time to repent now Get on your knees and pray You'd better beg for mercy For today is judgement day Oh, the seal is broken All hell is rushing forth And at the head of the vanguard Behold a pale horse Lord save us! ♪ Doomsayer Your prophecy's taking place Doomsayer This world is an open grave Doomsayer There's no way to stop the spread Ooh yeah, we're already good as dead ♪ Good as dead!
