Gary Numan - Prophecy Lyrics






We are deceived
Valhalla is falling
We are betrayed
We are lost and forsaken.
He's sold the world
Sold us all to the hunger
The body of Christ
Is as black as his soul.

The word of the Lord
Is the lie of your father
This mortal sin
Is a voice of shame.
Look at the storm
Like a dying apostle
Cruel and divine
Like the ghost of man.

And now you realise
I am the truth.

Worship the dead
The damned and misled
Tortured and bled
Like the voices of reason.
Sacred and pure
Sanctified obsession
Holy and cured
Like a doorway to heaven.

Sisterhood cried
Innocence lied
Purity died
With the angels of passion.
Blessed are they
Who pay homage to rumour
I've seen the light
Shine on the grave of Man.

And now you realise
I am the truth.

And I believed.
Amen.

  3. Z.... ....

    ...heaping coals of Fire for the Judgement. You laugh now. But you will weep and cry and gnash teeth. And you weak-minded fools of the devil think yer so smart? You are the biggest fools of history. And your petty insults only add to your future torment. But it isn't too late.... it's just out of reach for those who love the darkness. It will consume you and destroy your soul. Laugh, fools. Laugh. Your suffering hasn't begun yet. But you foolishly say, 'this is hell'.... because you are ignorant. The people perish for lack of knowledge. Where is the Promise of HIS coming, you say..... Scoffers and Mockers. Enjoy the reaping of what you have sown. The terrors you hide from will manifest fully for you. And you will not know to whom you should call. Because it won't be the Savior. Smell that? That is eternity in Hell.... have at it. You earned every second of an endless night.

    ZJhontu1 Then idiot your lying God is nothing but a joke judging whats imperfect I guess Flavian couldn't do anything that day.

    Religious tolerance yeah your history stinks of it including this Flat Earth lie conspiracy shit and you have no idea what your damn Skydaddy is going to do if he even exists. He wishes to burn people do death for this fucking Hell you can't even fucking find , what a dumb ox and so is your God burning His Creatures for what they did for 80 years of meagre life , yeah the so called ''loving 'God you fucking lying stupid prick

    Z.... ....

    Dumb ain't it? And this God has such a thing like Hell? Well fuck Him It so obvious if these fairy stories from the Book that drinks Human Blood daily that humans are not loved but were created to be slaves and this so called God don't give a shit about you , actually hates you the stupid bastard

    Z.... ....

    Justin Stanley Your right there especially in the Garden of Eden anyone else doing that would have been accused of child abuse yet He gets a pass and for a so called Intelligent God He acts so fucking dumb I mean can't He bloody well see that Eve only wanted to be like her 'father' ?

    And this ''serpent'' used that innocence deliberately? I guess being a God ain't what is cracked up to be because I can't see how he could miss that. No the more you look into it the more it seems like a set up

    I love this entire album. Found it way back when I fell in love with the "Dark City" soundtrack. Gary Numan's 'Dark' and Hughes Hall's 'Sleep Now" were fantastic.

    M.... f....

  9. C.... T....

    HAIL NUMAN. End of discussion

    C.... T....

    +Chris Turnock Nail Human! Sry, couldnt resist. :)

  10. A.... p....

    Sorry bro but even if you use something the same as an other band without knowing it your 99.8 percent likely to have picked it up subconsciously from that very band or the band they picked it up from. in other words everything came from something. very few sounds are innovative.

    However when they are innovative every smart human being will be aware of it. like pink Floyd were. Like the Beatles were. Like king fucking crimson was.
    Not all these thieving new bands.

  11. A.... p....

    Offcourse he is his hero. First Gary numen album was what Trent reznor idolized as a kid and you can see it jizzed all over every decent album of his.

  12. A.... p....

    Thousands of bands owe their collective existence to numan.
    Millions owe it to the Beatles .
    And billions owe it to god, for being so fucking stupid that they try beat the pulse of
    music into there own brains.
    If you don't understand it then don't try to. limit yourself to the radio like everyone who ignored gary numen did!
    Mans, got to know his limitations.

  13. C.... ....

    funny you say that as Numan reference Songs Of Faith as an influence to him.

  14. J.... B....

    That's quite a claim.

  15. L.... ....

    3 christians disliked this

  16. E.... L....

    while I like both Numan and Depeche, and I think they honestly, in turn, influenced each other... it's hard not to notice that the drums are the same ones from Get Right With Me.

  17. b.... ....

    best lp !!!

  18. J.... C....

    Im sorry but everyone seems to think this track is awesome. In hus autobiography he said he wanted to perform this on TV but they wouldnt let him and I dont blame them!

    Can someone please tell me why this song is so great.

    J.... C....

    It's about as haunting as music gets without being mawkish.

    Go back to your hymn book you ninny.

  19. m.... s....

    In a VH1 clip around the time of Exile Gary Numan says that he likes Walking in my shoes by Depeche Mode and that the sound has influenced him quite a lot on both of the albums (I reckon Sacrifice and Exile).
    My impression is that Gary's been very open about being influenced by other artists e.g. David Bowie, Kraftwerk, John Foxx/Ultravox etc. (and of course NIN and the like these days). Has he ever claimed to be ground-breaking and original? (Song-writing wise at least not...)

  20. u.... ....

    try walking in my shoes but like you said, it doesn't really matter

  21. V.... E....

    OK Sarah you bad baby you xxxxxxxxxxxxx yes he is

  22. V.... E....

    Am I your hero XxXEssenceOfLifeXxX? LOL well at least once in my life I am a hero to someone, not like Numan though he is and will be a hero to millions?

  23. V.... E....

    comments aimed at GodDude the prick

  24. V.... E....

    I agree Molly it is a beautiful track

  25. V.... E....

    bollocks liar

  26. C.... A....

    Depeche Mode owe their collective existence to Numan.

  27. C.... A....

    Numan's Prophecy is my Psalm. Thank you...
