Nostradamus

I didn't dare to publish
couldn't put in writing
something so alarming
so frightening 
I can only speak in private of the things I've seen
for it concerns the future of the king and queen

I know it is considered as a privilege and honour 
and a royal invitation would be unwise to ignore 
what could be more rewarding for a man in my position
than a queen who wants to know just what the future 
hods in store
... in paris

I didn't dare to publish
couldn't put in writing
something so alarming
so frightening 
I can only speak in private of the things I've seen

While a journey would be long and hard and
not without it's problems
For a man my age - leaving two children and his wife 
only time would tell if I'd been right
to do as was requested knowing what might have happened
round august twenty five
... in paris

I didn't dare to publish
couldn't put in writing
something so alarming
so frightening 
I can only speak in private of the things I've seen
for it concerns the future of the king and queen

But they musn't doubt my loyalty
to holy church and royalty
so I will accept and obey
and soon I will be on my way
to paris
