Riders of the night are screaming hard upon my heels Princely lords of chaos forging black and fiery wheels And the mother of the earth is being widowed in my sight Father of deception using wrong instead of right And the moon overshadows the sun And the masters of war carry on While the fools and jokers make fun Oh, see them run Sister of illusion bend and follow in their mould Brother of opinion just remember what you're told That a weapon in a traitor's hand will harm you twice as bad Forests of indifference guaranteed to make you mad And the moon overshadows the sun And the masters of war carry on While the fools and jokers make fun Oh, see them run They can't be playing Turning me upside down (down) They've got me praying I'll end up in the ground (oh yeah) When they've burnt up everything And killed the air for me to breathe Still they would be thinking there was more they could achieve Then at last they would be beaten For alone they all would stand Looking at each other just as if it had been planned And the moon disappears with the sun And the masters are masters of none While the fools and the jokers are gone Now they're one Oh how they run (oh) They can't be playing Turning me upside down (down) They've got me praying I'll end up in the ground And the moon overshadows the sun And the masters are masters of none While the fools and the jokers are gone Now they're one
