One of my favourites - from the Relayer album by Yes. Can't remember if these words are actually used in the tracks but they were printed on the album cover.
Snakes are coiled upon the granite
Horseman ride into the west
Moons are rising on the planet
Where the worst must suffer like the rest
Pears are ripe and peaches falling
Suns are setting in the east
Women wail and men are calling
To the God that's in them, and to the beast
Love is waiting for a lover
Generations kneel for peace
What men lose man will recover
Polishing the brains his bones release
Truth conceals itself in error
History reveals its face
Days of ecstasy and terror
Invent the future that invents the race
Snakes are coiled upon the granite
Horseman ride into the west
Moons are rising on the planet
Where the worst must suffer like the rest
Pears are ripe and peaches falling
Suns are setting in the east
Women wail and men are calling
To the God that's in them, and to the beast
Love is waiting for a lover
Generations kneel for peace
What men lose man will recover
Polishing the brains his bones release
Truth conceals itself in error
History reveals its face
Days of ecstasy and terror
Invent the future that invents the race
