This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Sinner rider, rides in with the storm
The devil rides beside him
The devil is his God, God, help you mourn
Do you, do you hear it? Do you hear the thunder
Deafen every living thing about?
Can you, can you see it? Can you
See the mountains darken yonder?
Black sun rising, time is running out
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the
Sinner
Sinner (is this obligation?)
Sinner
Sinner
His steed of fury
Eyes of fire and mane ablaze
Demonic vultures stalking
Drawn by the smell of war and pain
He roams the star ways
Searching for the carcasses of war
But if it's hungry then its very presence
Disrupts the calm into the storm
Curse and damn you all
You'll fall by the hand of the
Sinner
Sinner (desegregation)
Sinner
Sinner
(God of the) God of the Devils, God of the Devils
Won't you help them pray
(God of the Devils) God of the Devils
God of the Devils (God of the Devil)
Is there no other way?
Can't you hear their souls calling out in their plight
Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight
Thirty years now sleeping, so sound
(Sound, sound, sound, sound)
War raises its head, and looks slowly around
(Around, around, around, around)
The Sinner is near (near, near)
Sensing the fear (fear, fear)
And the beast will start movin' around (around)
Can't you see their souls calling out in their brain
Can't you hear their blood is boiling, setting them alight
Sinner, sinner, sinner, sinner
Sinner
Sinner
Sinner
Sinner
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the curse
And damn you all, you'll fall by the hand of the sinner
The devil rides beside him
The devil is his God, God, help you mourn
Do you, do you hear it? Do you hear the thunder
Deafen every living thing about?
Can you, can you see it? Can you
See the mountains darken yonder?
Black sun rising, time is running out

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
The part "30 years now sleeping" at the last line identifies what or whom was sleeping, "the beast", which has been awakened is now moving around.
I don't hear "war raises his head" I hear a sound like "uh-raises his hea-ead" Halford often he does that sort of thing with words. "well-raises" may work. Maybe it is war. War would still be ok, since crowleys "book of the law" had plently of war in it.
Crowley was read by plenty of people in the 60's and 70's, and people took him seriously.
They even tried to make his vision of mankind come to pass. (I say they suceeded, but thats cuz e I know Crowley to have wanted man to be free, and thats what came to pass. at least more freedom than before. All the evil nonsense was just shock and mis-representations.
Musicians were a big part of spreading the gospel of crowley.
I don't try to find crowley in everything. I am an even headed person, not all about crazy connections between things.
This instance is just one where it fits, exactly fits.
I wouldn't have said this if I wasn't nearly sure of it.
"War raises it's head, and slowly looks around." "Uh"? "Well"? Really? "War" is mentioned twice more in the lyrics "smell of war and pain" and "carcasses of war". Not seeing the Crowley thing, he is like Che Guevara, James Dean and Jimi Hendrix, all much more popular today than they ever were in their time and the legend is much greater than the men ever were.<br /> <br /> The "30 years now sleeping" is so obvious, only recently hit me as the time between the end of WWI (1918) and beginning of WWII (1939).
