Comets and Prophecies Lyrics
[Kepler:]
All heavens dressed in black
And the church is not of help here
[Wallenstein:]
Yet "Comets importing change of time and state"
As the poet says
[Kepler:]
Fiery demons in the sky
They are
Or angels
That's hard to judge
Like pilgrims in the skies
They roam and lurk
With sparkling, wrathful lies
Not long
They will descend
And along with them
The scourge of angry, bad, revolting stars
These signs are evil
Not conquest
But famine
Then war
And finally death
[Wallenstein:]
Astrology
The highest science of all
It is a mirror
Of what's to come
But since the planets cannot command
Will they inspire me, at least?
[Kepler:]
Your constellation's promising
Although
We all will mourn in blood
All heavens dressed in black
And the church is not of help here
Yet "Comets importing change of time and state"
As the poet says
Fiery demons in the sky
They are
Or angels
That's hard to judge
Like pilgrims in the skies
They roam and lurk
With sparkling, wrathful lies
Not long
They will descend
And along with them
The scourge of angry, bad, revolting stars
These signs are evil
Not conquest
But famine
Then war
And finally death
Astrology
The highest science of all
It is a mirror
Of what's to come
But since the planets cannot command
Will they inspire me, at least?
Your constellation's promising
Although
We all will mourn in blood

From the liner notes by Markus Heitz (author of "The Dark Lands"):
"COMETS AND PROPHECIES" The cursed horseman turns into the mercenary Nicolas, without any memory of his old self or his true purpose. Finding himself on a battlefield in 1618, he pursues what he takes to be his craft, the handwork of a mercenary, tormented by mysterious visions and immortality. But the three horsemen can escape the spell und follow their brother. The apocalypse shall happen. In order to make their provisions, they come down to earth as cornets and take on human shape. They gather around them followers, humans, and demonic creatures. One of them begets a child with a mortal in order to fulfil old prophecies. But the comets are seen. And interpreted.
