The prophecy are some of the lyrics to “Instruments of Destruction”, referenced in the song above...
In the 1986 Animated movie, the song played over the scene where Megatron & the Decepticons ambushed the Autobot shuttle heading to Autobot City (Metroplex) on Earth, killing Brawn, Prowl, Ratchet, & Ironhide.
Hell yeah! The scientist has a good taste in 80s music and 80s childhood trauma. (Not including me).
Also, there's lyrics from Dare in there too.
Here we go with “Laurel or Yanny” again... 😂🤣😂🤣
TBH, I can hear why people think “Power” was said instead of “Foul” in the refrain, because it does sound like “Tools of Power Play”. But when I googled the actual lyrics, I saw “Foul” & when I reheard it, I definitely heard “Tools of fo-ul play”. I think Vin_Cent used what the googled lyrics said.
This is just one of those songs where its easy to get lyrics mixed up and there are tons of lyric sites with many different versions beyond Ernie's original version and the lyrics edited for the movie. Instead of using Google, just go to the guy who wrote the song, read the original lyrics, take into account the movie edits and you've got the correct lyrics. Its a little more work, but you get the right stuff not what some random dude thinks he hears when he listens to it and then puts it on a web page.

That's the band's original version of the song remade for a 30th anniversary thing, which uses "power plays".

This page shows the edits they made for putting it in the movie. "Power plays" was not changed.
