The Prophecy
Llewellyn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Consider this a sign.
This is a train in the night
And now it's time for you to go
You know you've had a healthy life, boy.

You walk this world like you're a ghost
Your hands are coming through the needles
Sick of your tragic and the evils
I am the keeper of the songs of everyone

Look into the sun and see your soul is dying
Used to feel the faith, but now you're tired of trying
Should have left alone what you have stolen from everyone
How are you feeling?
Seem a little sick to me now

This is a coming of the times
You are a witness to the movement

If all you're seeing is your lies
You had your chance, but now you've blown it.
You want this world so you can own it
I am the keeper of the songs of everyone

Look into the sun and see your soul is dying
Used to feel the faith, but now you're tired of trying
Should have left alone what you have stolen from everyone

How are you feeling?
You seem a little sick to me

From the light on high
A chance to change your fate
Forgiveness falling down
On those who chose to wait
Remember the time
Find yourself home again
Deep within your life
Find yourself a home again find yourself home again
It's a choice
You have chosen your own

In the old days
When the world was young and bright
If you raise the mask, who will lead us home tonight

Look into the sun and see your soul is dying
Used to feel the faith, but now you're tired of trying
Should have left alone what you have stolen from everyone
How are you feeling?
Look into the sun and see your soul is dying
Used to feel the faith, but now you're tired of trying
Should have left alone what you have stolen from everyone
How are you feeling?
Seems a little sick




It seems a little sick
It seems a little sick to me now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Llewellyn's song "The Prophecy" seem to convey a message of warning and admonition. The opening lines, "Consider this a sign", suggest that the following words are important and should not be ignored. The metaphor of "a train in the night" evokes images of something powerful and unstoppable, further emphasizing the importance of paying attention. The singer then tells the listener that it's time to go, indicating that there is urgency in the situation.


The next stanza paints a picture of someone who is disconnected from the world around them. They "walk this world like [they're] a ghost", indicating a lack of engagement with their surroundings. Their hands are "coming through the needles", suggesting that they are engaging in drug use. The singer is "sick of [their] tragic and the evils", implying that this behavior is destructive and needs to stop. The singer then declares themselves "the keeper of the songs of everyone", suggesting that they are in a position of authority, perhaps as a spiritual guide.


The chorus repeats the previous themes of feeling tired and sick, and advises the listener to look into the sun and see that their soul is dying. They should have left alone what they have stolen from everyone, which could refer to the negative consequences of their actions. The final stanza offers a glimmer of hope, with the phrase "forgiveness falling down". It suggests that there is still a chance to change one's fate and find a home within oneself.
