I wanted to warn you Of the storm that is coming to the world There will be no safety by arms No help from authority No answer in science It will rage Until every flower of culture is trampled And all human beings Are levelled in a vast chaos Such was my vision When Napoleon was still a name unknown I see it now More clearly With each hour I wanted to warn you Of the storm that is coming to the world I wanted to warn you Of the storm that is coming to the world And when that time comes To destroy all that is precious in the world When the strong have devoured each other Then will the Christian ethic at last be fulfilled And the meek shall inherit the earth I wanted to warn you Of the storm that is coming to the world It is my hope That the airman with his load of bombs Will pass us by And when the new world stirs among the ruins Hopefully seeking its lost, legendary treasure It will be here my son Hidden behind the mountains In the valley of the blue moon preserved by a miracle For a new renaissance I wanted to warn you I wanted to warn you Of the storm that is coming to the world I wanted to warn you I wanted to warn you Of the storm that is coming to the world You predict a dark age? Yes And when that time comes To destroy all that is precious in the world When the strong have devoured each other Then will the Christian ethic at last be fulfilled And the meek shall inherit the earth
