Van Der Graaf Generator - Boat Of Millions Of Years Lyrics
(Hammill)Horus, the son of Isis, lay in the marshes of Buto,poisoned by Set.She called out to the High God Rato kill this evil, that her child may live yet.Casting aside her present fearsshe called out on the Boat of Millions of years...Ra came and sawand stopped the sun until he had curedthe life of the innocent.Horus the Good lived in the North,in lands of fertility and beautybut Set stayed in the hard desert,to him belonged all drought and perversity.While he sheds his tearsbeneath the Boat of Millions of yearshe fights to kill the hawk,bearing with him evil and darkness.But Horus lives with the sun.Forever the battle rages,evil tries to kill the innocent babyand only Osiris, the Lord of the Dead,can eventually save it.So we must cast aside our future fearsand call out on the Boat of Millions of years.The God of Love is on our sideand with him we shall not die...there's life in the Sun!There's life in the Sun!Only in violence is the cause lost:in peace, grey Set can't kill our baby of love.
