“Prophecy” is the second track from the first act of Judas Priest’s sixteenth studio album, a concept album that depicts the story of Nostradamus' life.

[Verse 1]
I am the darkness
Born out of light
I am the force, the fire
That burns here tonight
Bringing the future
To all mankind
Guider of life—of death
The sight for the blind
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Your future lies within my eyes
What I predict will terrify
I can't control what comes to be
From the past to the present to eternity
[Chorus 1]
I am Nostradamus
Do you believe
I am Nostradamus
That I conceive
[Verse 2]
Master of chaos
Anger and rage
I hold the key
My presence will unlock the cage
I am your witness
The one who can tell
Bearing the sword—the shield
To your heaven from hell
[Pre-Chorus 2]
As I unfold the mystery
I change the course of history
With premonitions from the void
Will you live? Will you die?
Will your worlds collide?
[Chorus 2]
I am Nostradamus
The hand of fate
I am Nostradamus
With love and hate
[Bridge]
Lost in this vortex
The mystery begins
Will you be victim
Saved from your sins
Time is illusion
Trapped in the skies
Destiny's calling
Here from my eyes

[Spoken]
Many years ago, a boy was born
A boy with a gift
A gift that would be the envy of all mankind
To see what no other could—great visions of the future
Or would a curse be bestowed on the boy
The boy whose name was Nostradamus...
[Chorus 3]
I am Nostradamus
Do not forsake
I am Nostradamus
Your life's at stake
[Chorus 4]
I am Nostradamus
The lightning rod
I am Nostradamus
The voice of God
[Outro]
Celestial comets
Reign towards earth
Alchemy's tempest
Predicting your worth
Pray for deliverance
Escape if you can
For I have borne witness
To the purging of man
