Apocalypse lyrics

[Deleted]

I had the sudden intrigue to look up information on the written-but-not-released Tull song "Apocalypse" and came across these lyrics on a run o' the mill lyrics website.

Can anyone confirm these may be the lyrics?


Jethro Tull
Apocalypse

Halt the ringing cry of progress
sang the horseman riding by
through support the good God gave us
riding back to yesterday
yesterday.

Turn the tables in the temple
rang [bring] the hoardings from the
Life is [insurance] gentle horseman
[in]corporate efficiency
efficiency.

Some pieces for your daily tune/ Stop chasing for your daily dues
the race is run
no price you lose
start craving for your daily news.
There's [no more said] to change your views

The brokers breathless useless
let reason bring us to exceed
now you hold the reins of the apocalypse.

Galvanise yourselves to action
cast inside iniquity
And to this hand voice spoken
The rites of ancient history / write your names in history
in history.

Halt the ringing cry of progress
sang the horseman riding by
through support the good God gave us
riding back to yesterday
yesterday
to yesterday
yesterday.


I didn't know these lyrics were available.

Kai,
Have you heard the version done by the tribute band, Beggar's Farm from the 2001 Italian Convention w/ David/Dee Palmer? Good stuff. I wish Ian would dust this one off 'from the attic'.

I have, it is very good stuff.

I assume it is Dee Palmer who has the lyrics and music on file?

[Pieter]

Hi, I loved the bit of this song that was played on the 1979 BBC documentary.
Would love a copy of the boot of that Itullian convention. Is there anyone that can help me out? Thanks, Pieter

[Preston Platform]

Just saw this Pieter.. have you now got what you were looking for ?

[Pieter]

Yep and very happy with it, thanks!!

[Pieter]

But boy, would I love for a Jethro Tull version to pop up, like we were surprised by Jack-a-Lynn once. I feel that Apocalypse is at least on the same quality level.

Ah, the old Tull, makes me soo happy
