Fourth Place

Darkside of Aquarius- Dark

 
Inspired by Bruce Dickenson's song
Darkside of Aquarius, from the Accident of Birth Album
(Lord of the Rings video)

Here is my song-

Age of Aquarius 
a future filled with love and life
sweet harmony and peace-
But, the future came with a knife
the first Hellrider bringing dread, death and
the darkside.

We were plunged into chaos as
a second rider brought us conflict
and cold thinking to constrict
with a darkness filled with terror
fascist dictators reading a script
there was no promised land in sight.

Realms of enlightenment,
of conduct, are crashing into nothingness.
Realms of enlightenment,
of conduct, are crashing into nothingness.

The third rider from hell came
with a message to kill our fellow women and men.
The fourth wave of riders were the horsemen of the Apocalypse
and we watched our crumbling world.
The horsemen yelled death to holy men,
and thus came an end of all enlightenment,
and tarot card reading became a useless tool. 

Realms of enlightenment,
of conduct, are crashing into nothingness.
Existential dread and darkness closing in
and people are fleeing cities in fear,
because of this dark side of Aquarius,
and Hellriders who are stealing our minds and souls.
Realms of enlightenment,
of conduct, are crashing into nothingness.

(Guitar Solo)

I let the demons chase me to the sea,
and the rolling crashing waves.
Oh, how close they follow me,
only to be washed away in the sea,
but more are coming for me !

Got to fight, got to fight,
got to ride my white horse.
Got to fight, got to fight,
got to ride my white horse.
Got to fight, got to fight,
got to fight the demons,
got to fight the demons !

I've got to fight the demons from hell,
got to fight the demons from hell.
Got to fight the demons from hell,
Change the course of Aquarius,
change to age of Aquarius.
Change the dark side of Aquarius,
change the dark side of Aquarius . . .  now !
