about

The song is a mini musical about the struggling citizens in a town. They seek to help at Michael Nostradamus because rumour has it, that he can see the future.

lyrics

Raconteur:
Lets take a giant step in time to the 16th Century
in despite of all the anger this town is very neat

A pathway leads to the Southern End with the Village to the West
and the citizens are moaning and they sure do their best

They blame their parents and the past for what they are today
but the past can not be changed so they are doomed to stay that way

This is the time this is the place and this … is the catch

The people:
We will never make the same mistake again
We will offer ourselves to every pain
We will never make the same mistake again

Chairman:
So Michael do riddle me now

I am the people I´ll remain anonymous

The people:
We’ve been fighting our way through lance and sword

Chairman:
You are the famous Michael Nostradamus

The people & chairman:
You have a way with pen and word

Chairman:
According to the stories told, you have a magic sight

The people:
Let us know the future so we can rebuild our lives

Chairman:
Yes sir we have sinned a lot and failed to say the least

The people:
Within us is this anger in the shape of a beast

Raconteur:
This is the time …

The people:
We will never make the same …

Chairman:
I am the people I´ll remain …

Nostradamus:
You have come before me so
to seek the knowledge that I know
but my poems are only for the future times
so I write them down in a mystical rhyme

Go, go back to your homes
you all look like kings who have lost the throne
Live your life like a dream
