Prophecy
Medwyn Goodall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 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
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
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 On Tonight
In The Summer Skies, The Stars, The Light
The lyrics of Medwyn Goodall's song "Prophecy" can be interpreted as a warning about the consequences of living a selfish and dishonest life, as well as a call to find redemption and forgiveness. The lyrics suggest that the singer of the song has been living a life of deception and self-gain, at the expense of other people's well-being. The first verse describes the singer as "walking this world like a ghost", suggesting that he is not truly present in the world and his actions have not been genuine. The second verse implies that the singer's actions have caused harm to others, as he is described as having stolen from everyone and being sick of his own evils.
The chorus of the song is an invitation to reflect upon one's own life and choices, and to seek redemption for past misdeeds. The lines "look into the sun and see, your soul is dying, used to feel the faith, but now you're tired of trying" suggest that the singer has lost touch with his spiritual side and is in need of guidance, while the lines "forgiveness falling down on those who chose to wait, remember the time, find yourself home again" imply that there is still a chance for him to find redemption and that forgiveness is possible for those who seek it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Prophecy" convey a message of hope and encouragement for those who have made mistakes in their lives, but also serve as a warning about the consequences of living a life devoid of compassion and honesty.
