lyrics

The Four Horsemen Of Aquarius

Ride Ride; over corpses of men's live they ride.
Hide; you can't hide from the Truth.
It will hunt you and chase you to the Source.
It will take you, as you scuttle on your course.

Black steed, hooves scatter leaves like blood.
Dark night - raven haired: Shiva's sable child.
Yellow eyes flash of vengeance, slashing darkness from his blade;
Laying waste to painted Babylon - the Whore that Man has made.

His head a dragon in the West
Breathless fire destroying crops and herds
He strikes the eldest sons of Thebes - the magic pride of years.
No-one can escape the Destroyer. None can avoid his wrath.
He must destroy, but only your self. What more have you got?

Ride Ride; how the Knights of Evolution ride!
Hide; you can't hide from the Truth.
It will seek you. It will drive you to the Source.
It will shake you, till you have to change your course.

White steed - armour shining silver in the sun.
Pure knight - satin-skinned; Vishnu called to act.
Banner glows, he bears the Grail - flowing beauty from its spring;
Bringing hope to Moses' children - refugees once kings.

He gathers people in its wake
And filling them with Peace
He bathers their wounds and soothes their fears;
Assures them all that all will cease.
Life is balmed and preserved; he gives what all must need.
He lets us keep just hold of ourselves. What more can we be?.....

Ride Ride; the unknown has been born with the tide.
Hide; you can't hide from the Truth.
It will build you. It will break you on your course.
It will throw you, and draw you to the Source.

Gold steed - sparks of flame anoint the shining brow.
Primal sun, a cloak of sun: Brahma's burning fire.
Atoms crash, exploding potence; a blazing bow to shaft the void.
His whirlpool votex spirals energy; rebuilds what was destroyed.
He calls aloud and light appears: a sun, a moon, a star.
He calls to man and man appears: an exiled, lonely star.
He is the Law: the Law of Chance; subtle trick of Creation.
He plan the odds and plants your self. What more can be done?.....


As the Three storm away through the aeons,
Leaving still one more knight.
The offspring of the three before him,
Yet Master of them all - the Lord of Light.
He travels slowly - unheard, unseen
(He has walked this earth before)
And smiles his Beauty through the debris,
He must now speak the Word: "Awake once more!"......
