Aphrodite's Child - The Four Horsemen Lyrics






And when the Lamb
Opened the first seal
I saw, I saw the first horse
The horseman held a bow

Now when the Lamb
Opened the second seal
I saw, I saw the second horse
The horseman held a sword

The leading horse is white
The second horse is red
The third one is a black
The last one is a cream

The leading horse is white
The second horse is red
The third one is a black
The last one is a cream

And when the Lamb
Opened the third seal
I saw, I saw the third horse
The horseman had a balance

Now when the Lamb
Opened the fourth seal
I saw, I saw the fourth horse
The horseman was the pest

The leading horse is white
The second horse is red
The third one is a black
The last one is a cream

The leading horse is white
The second horse is red
The third one is a black
The last one is a cream

The leading horse is white
The second horse is red
The third one is a black
The last one is a cream

The leading horse is white
The second horse is red
The third one is a black
The last one is a cream

    Why do I feel like it could have been a great song to be played in the 2019 ''Joker''?

  19. R.... ....

    Pure genius.

  20. g.... ....

    Every time I would hear the beginning of the Doobie Brothers' "Black Water," I would be hoping they were playing this song instead. One of my all-time favorites, with incredible guitar work.

  21. J.... J....

    They can't stand this today the truth will set you free god is with us gott mittens

  22. f.... ....

    any statement would destroy this masterpiece

    So a fucking year ago I was walking past a house on my street where there was a bunch of junk on the sidewalk, and over time the trashbags were ripped open and strewn about the yard. I found a pile of Greek CDs including a 3 CD Best of Demis Roussos set, and I brought them to the house where they stayed on the porch for half a year. I eventually brought them in and we'd joke about the Demis best of being "The Hound Sings The Hits!" from Game of Thrones. Now, just today, I was finally curious and brought up some of his solo stuff, which was sort of what I expected, then led to this, which is right up my alley. This shit is fucking awesome, would have never known.

  24. �.... �....

    Man they were going somewhere. Pitty they split.

  25. a.... _....

    This is ahead of its time! But also just the absolute best of its time.

  26. S.... D....

    ❤ich liebe dieses Lied ❤

  27. L.... e....

    Que bien que suena....
    So relaxing... so spiritual

  28. E.... ....

    This is some trippy, kind of edgy bizarre music, but I sort of like it. Not something I would casually listen to but something I might occasionally visit.

  29. M.... ....

    Ι had to wait until late 1974 to listen to the whole album properly. That was when the military junta which ruled after a coup since 1967 collapsed and democracy in Greece along with free speech, was restored. When it first came out in 1972, it was not released in Greece because of the participation of the actress Irene Pappas in it. She was self-exiled and banned by the regime, because of her anti-dictatorial activity. But a friend brought a cassette tape with only part of the album and we got a very basic idea of what it sounded like, by listening to it on a cheap portable cassette recorder. Nothing hifi at all, but just enough to make us understand that it was something very unusual and special. And very different than anything this band (or any band for that matter) had done before. 666 : a progressive rock masterpiece.

    Fuck you gay

    Aphrodite's Child, Peloma Bokiou, Gordian and Socrates, probably the only greek rock bands that could make it to the UK and America at the time (early 70s).

  35. C.... S....

    Another one of those awesome 70’s prog/psych albums!!

  36. F.... B....

    I was buying some vinyls off a guy, ( Floyd, Grateful Dead, Beatles) he had everything, including a few copies of this, I had never heard of them, but he recommended them, so I decided to give em a listen first. I'll be going back this weekend to pick up a copy!

  54. S.... ....

    I guess the lyrics have a deeper meaning, does anyone know?

    S.... ....

    It refers to a passage from the Book of Revelation -- specifically, the one concerning the scroll with seven seals which only Jesus (in the form of the Sacrificial Lamb) has the power to open. The song refers to the first four seals which release the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse whom God has sent to chastise humanity. The first Horseman on the white horse is depicted holding a bow -- the traditional interpretation is that he represents Conquest, but some people believe he represents the Antichrist (others describe him as being Pestilence). The second Horseman on the red horse carries a sword to represent War. The third Horseman on the black horse represents Famine and holds a set of scales which dictate how much barley or wheat people can buy. The fourth Horseman is Death on the pale or green horse.
