Revelation

Hey Johnny, talk to me
Say what's on your mind
I've seen that look somewhere before
The haunted hurting kind
Hey barman, bring the wine
My friend is tired and worn
No stories told
When throats are sore
And memories forlorn

I hear you had a dream
A nightmare some might say
Trapped inside a prison cell
No chance to getaway
Hey Johnny, talk to me
Why you look so pale?
Did you see what's yet to come?
What hides behind the veil?

Hey Johnny, let me read
Those letters in your hand
I heard you're good with words
But sometimes hard to understand
Hey barman, lock the place
There are bikers at the door
The fourth, the last, the thin white duke
A man you can't ignore

You claim you had a dream
When earthquakes filled the land
Seven seals and three times ten
The silence of the lamb
Hey Johnny, talk to me
Let me hear your tale
The tidings of what lies beyond
What hides behind the veil?

Hey Johnny
Is it true?
Did You see the king?
At his throne in Graceland
Oh lord, that man could sing
Hey barman, hear that sound?
Like trumpets fills the air
We better stay inside tonight
A hailstorm's drawing near

They say you saw someone
Fallen from the sky
Riding in his red Corvette
Made all the angels cry
Hey Johnny, talk to me
I'll follow in your trail
Let me see what you have seen
What hides behind the veil?

Hey Johnny, tell me now
Did you see my name?
Written in the Book of Life
Or stranded here in shame?
Hey barman, bring the wine
And join us in our feast
The Super Bowl is on tonight
It's Mike against the Beast

How come, you hang around?
Still waiting on your friend?
He's doing time with Mark and Paul
You'll meet him in the end
Hey Johnny sing to me
A song that will prevail
About the life that lies ahead
And hides behind the veil
