The Prophecy Lyrics - Singles - Rebellion

We ride all alone from the battlefield 

The rebels beaten they had to yield 

Banquo and I we silently ride 

Brothers in arms side by side 

There's a fog which falls on the weary soul 

It engulfs our souls as we head for home 

The lands we pass we've never seen 

Clad in a twilight like a dream 

Out of the shade three women rise 

Appear in features that please the eye 

How can such grace walk the earth? 

Can it be of human birth? 

Their eyes glowing with unearthly light 

Shining like diamonds in the falling night 

They hail our names as we greet 

Their voices sound like music sweet 

A prophecy for great ambitions 

A promise weaved in gold 

Evil speaks a pleasant language 

The evil speak a pleasant language 

A prophecy is told 

Hail, hail, hail Macbeth 

Thane of Claims and Cawdor and master of death 

All Hail Macbeth we greet thee with laughter 

Hail Macbeth thou shalt be king hereafter 

We bid them stay as they did turn 

More about our fate to learn 

Too sweet did their visions sound 

To ambitious men for glory bound 

They turned to Banquo and hailed his name 

Revealing to him the greatest fame 

My brother listened pleased and well 

To the promises they had to tell 

Hail Banquo, hail to thee 

Lesser than Macbeth yet greater thou it be 

Father of a line of kings to come 

Hail to Banquo, the chosen one 

Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis has won a great victory 

Beating the rebels in a fierce battle 

He did a great service to his king and his country 

As King Duncan gains knowledge of this he decides to reward 

The most noble deeds of his greatest warrior 

He bestows the Thanehood of Cawdor on Macbeth 

To express his gratitude 

Even further Duncans decides to visit Macbeth 

And to celebrate the victory together with its honorable protagonist 

Naught does the king know about the witches prophecies 

And the ambitions of the Thane of Glamis and Cawdor 

Naught does he fear as he in best spirits 

Approaches the stronghold of Macbeth
