I see the raven's eyes and I see the lights
   I saw the gold rush San Francisco nights
   I am the reader, a palmist fly
   I can see the future, I can testify
  
   I knew Attilah, I met Genghis Khan
   Drank with Napoleon, held Nelson in my arms
  
   Quicksilver rider medicine man
   A sign of faith children of the damned
   Quicksilver rider salamander man
   Prophet of the guises with the world in his hands
  
   I've known love I've known pain
   Death and sorrow the mighty and the slain
   I was created in 10 BC
   The sign of life the sign of seed
  
   I met Moses I know Jezebel
   Partied with Nero and rome burned and fell
  
   Rattlesnakes' heads and voodoo dolls
   It's old religion like of creole
   I am the dust of time and space
   Your darkest nightmare without a face
  
   I saw sunrise from Wynola Gay
   Sat down with Gandhi and started to pray
