Miserabile Visu (Ex Malo Bonum)

red priest broke into our classroom 
Caught us children by attention 
"Listen closely to the words I speak 
Lord knows if we'll ever, ever again meet" 

Spoke such words never spoken before 
On the way he declared there were 
Miracles like you've never seen 
From a man who was raised up in the sea 

man is coming in thirteen-one 
To charm the daughters and the sons 
Scared for our lives, I turned to your hand 
Hold this tight while we run, if we still can 

What disasters may come 
Whatever it may be 
At the end of the age 
It will land you and me 
What tragedy may bring 
Whatever may fall 
The end of the world 
You'll still belong 

Before the red priest took his last breath 
He told me, "Child, now don't forget 
The sun will turn dark very soon 
Your days are numbered when there's blood on the moon 

"The earth will shake and the sky will fall 
The eyes will open of those involved 
Don't take this son, but you'll be killed 
By the man from seven hills"

Look children to the eastern sky 
When you hear the voice say your last goodbyes 
Look there to the eastern skies 
When the ghosts take hold of the men who died 
Look children to the eastern sky 
When your fathers weep and your mothers cry 
Look children to the eastern sky
