Met an old man named Red Bear

in the mountains up in Tenessee

Came walking up on flat top ridge,

this is what he said to me

said the sun is going down child

the phoenix is on the rise

there won't be a man in this old town

won't have fear in his eyes

he said you better go and get your soul clean

sister if you know what I mean

cause this time you can't run and hide from the destruction

that I've seen

Old Mr Red bear bent down real slow

picked up an old tin can and said this is what you

need to know

he said now one day soon on the next full moon

youll see the sky turn red

the eath will shake and the waters will rise

and you'll remember what I said

 I looked around and he was gone

he left without a sound

up on that old mountain top

I went to kneel down

I prayed real hard for a minute of two

then looked up at the sky

old red bear found me just in time

as that red moon began to shine

 He said the sun is going down child

The phoenix is on the rise

won't be a man in this old town

won't have fear in his eyes

you better go and get your soul clean

sister if you know what I mean

cause this time you can't run and hide

from the destruction that I've seen
