Warning Lyrics by Queensrÿche

The Warning

1984

[Intro]
Warning...

[Verse 1]
I remember, I was asking why
And someday you said I'd know
All these years of fighting hard
Now you've finally, you've finally come too close
I can't believe it's now happening to me
Oh, now couldn't it wait a few hundred years?
Destiny can't rest, you see
Now it's time, time to cry your tears
Now cry

[Chorus 1]
The child of centuries, forgotten in time
You talk in circles of rhyme
The seer of places future and past
The warning you gave us is surely our last

[Refrain]
Warning
Warning
Warning

[Verse 2]
Behold the child, his pointing hand
When it's raised in solemn grace
His eyes once wide with learning wonder
Now leave stains, leave stains upon his face
Now see the hands of the working man (man!)
He's leaning back, back against the wall
Once busy hands are idle now
Standing ready, ready for the fall
Our fall

[Chorus 2]
The signs will come as days pass by
For those that claim to see
The blind will stay, not choosing to die
Not believing the visions I've seen

[Refrain]
Warning
Warning
Warning
Yeah

[Guitar Solo - Michael Wilton]

[Outro]
Yeah
Warning
Warning
Warning
Warning
Warning
Warning
Warning
Yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ohhhhhh
