lyrics

A man once walked the earth in past days,
Heard visions, and spoke of things misunderstood as if plain,
He told what was dreamt and then what it meant,
And revealed to kings coming events,

He told of a smiting stone cut without hands,
And saw it fill the earth,
A great tree the world could see,
To be cut down making a king as a beast,

A hand come forth in candlelight,
Writing words on a plaster wall,
The kings fearing knees knocked and Daniel was called,
And begged, just begged to explain,

So much fear for a good man,
Loved God and believed in him,

A man once walked the earth in past days,
Heard visions, and spoke of things misunderstood as if plain,
Faced lions, mouths sealed and peaceful,
Saw four beasts come from the sea,
Saw the ancient of days, clothes white as snow,
Sitting on his throne,

Stream of fire, and open books,
Troubled at heart,
Saw the angry goat come bring the ram down,
Break both his horns, stomp him into the ground,

So much fear for a good man,
Loved God and believed in him,

Peace Daniel,
Be not troubled,
You will rest, you will rest,
You will rise, you will rise,
It will be right at the end.

Seventy weeks,
Saw a man with many voices speaking,
Lightning face, and eyes of fire,
Arms and feet of brass, and skin hewed green,

God gave visions,

Peace Daniel,
Be not troubled,
You will rest, you will rest,
You will rise, you will rise,
It will be right at the end.
