    "Better" version of the new Iron Maiden track

    Amazing how close these are, especially thematically. Another reminder of how great and ignored some of Bruce's solo stuff was. He keeps trying to redo it in Iron Maiden in less good form. Darkside of Aquarius is on of my favorite tracks of his too.



    The first hellrider came
    On wings of plenty in the dark
    Poured out his poison
    And he blew away his mark
    The fascist from the east is coming
    Mothers, hide your sons

    The second hellrider came
    From the flaming seas and molten sands
    Pipers playing Hell's commands
    Poured out his poison
    With his promises of promised lands
    blackened tongues of lying leaders

    Here come the riders
    As the wheel of dharma's is running out of time
    Here come the riders
    As the wheel of time is running out of time

    The third hellrider came
    Teaching brothers to kill brother man
    And the fourth hellrider waits
    On an acid trip for an acid world
    Wars of old religious fools and superstitious men
    Throws some scary Tarot cards and...

    Here come the riders
    As the wheel of time is running out of time
    Here come the riders
    As the revolution's stepping into time
    The Darkside of Aquarius
    Has robbed us of our souls and minds
    Here come the riders
    As the wheel of time is running out of time





    Across a painted desert lies a train of vagabonds
    All that’s left of what we were it’s what we have become
    Once our empires glorious but now the empire’s gone
    The dead gave us the time to live and now our time is done

    Now we are victorious we’ve become our slaves
    A land of hope and glory building graveyards for the brave

    Have you seen the writing on the wall
    Have you seen that writing
    Can you see the riders on the storm
    Can you see them riding
Working...
