Intro: verse 1 In these times of wanting prophesy And false witnesses up to all manner of deviltry Drench a kitchen rag in heretic's blood Wash your windows and prepare for the flood Chorus Look to the West Look to the man bearing the Sicilian crest verse 2 Portents in the sky say that the time is near Dial into the signal, coming in loud and clear Sacrificial victims out of the cage Smiling as they're taking the stage Chorus Look to the West Look to the man bearing the Sicilian crest Bridge Out of the blue, everything's new All the talk we heard was true The legends we all heard once The whispers from the storefronts verse 3 Hope for the best Prepare for the worst We wait like stock-piled landmines, ready to burst Wait all your life to see what you see Open up your eyes and be free Chorus Look to the West Look to the man bearing the Sicilian crest
