The Boat of Millions of Years Songtext
von Van der Graaf Generator

Horus, the Good, lived in the North
In lands of fertility and beauty
But Set stayed in the hard desert
To him, belonged all drought and perversity

And he sheds his tears
Beneath the boat of millions of years

And he 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 baby
And only Osiris, the Lord of the Dead
Can eventually save it

So we must cast aside the future fears
And call out on the boat of millions of years

The God of Love is on our side
And 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

Can't kill our baby of love
