Rebellion - The Prophecy lyrics

[1] 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 [2] There s a fog which falls on the weary soul It engulfs our souls as we head for home The lands we pa** we ve never seen Clad in a twilight like a dream [3] 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 [4] 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 [Bridge:] 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 [Ref.:] Hail Hail Hail Macbeth Thane of Claims and Cawdor and Master of d**h All Hail Macbeth we greet thee with laughter Hail Macbeth thou shalt be king hereafter [5] 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 [6] 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 [Ref.:] 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 [Narrator:] 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.
