The Professor - Persistence of Time/The Spirit Lyrics

Evil hath rose when ignorance rules
Cause a mushroom cloud to block out the sun
Staring into a crystal ball
Let the soothsayer tell the future for all
I listen for what lies in store
I wait for the unknown to come

Can you see what's really waiting?
Can you tell me what will happen to me?

And time forever moves
Onward to the unknown

Who is she that walks like beauty in night
When desolation lashes side streets?
When technology will melt away
Will we know what century we're in?

And time forever moves
Onward to the unknown

The villain is hanging from his neck
Cast down from unholy spire
As he hangs kicking hands tied back
The spirit laughs as he's hanging there

The spirit laughs as he's hanging there
His blackened face reminds us of hell
A thousand souls wailing torment
The spirit laughs as he's hanging there

The spirit laughs as he's hanging there
His malicious smile spelling our fate
Ten thousand die in burning fire
The spirit laughs

The moon stings like acid in the night
The lepers are dancing outside
The castle walls are crumbling and black
And the citadel alone is pure

What has't to do with me?
You speak in riddles and lies
Soothsayer where is your truth
You slave to persistence of time

And time forever moves...
