Nobody knew - the future was ours to hold
  Seer of visions, or teller of lies?
  What could he do - when destiny was foretold
  You could see the anguish in his eyes
  Get down crescendo!
  
  Haunted by fear - and dreaming of things to come
  An computer-age, and nuclear wars
  Shadows appear - but where are they comin' from?
  And he can't make them go away
  Get down crescendo!
  
  He knew it was time - he stood on the brink of fame
  His powers were growing, his message would be shared
  Killed in his prime - nobody knew his name
  His life, a crescendo that never peaked
  He will always be known as...
  
  Poor crescendo - capture the rainbow
  Embrace the colours, and gather the sunbeams
  Poor crescendo - let your tears flow
  Come sail away, on an ocean of dreams
