Thanks,I've not seen .The Horsemen Arrive - Blue Öyster Cult before.

(I also never noticed the umlaut over the Ö before in BOC, nice added emphasis - sounds like 'oy')

(song by Blue Öyster Cult off of the 'Bad Channels' soundtrack.

Forgive me if my laughter sounds cracked

Forgive me if I smile badly

It's only that I've run off the track

Derailed by the irony

Forgive me if my laughter sounds cracked

Forgive me if I smile badly

It's only that I've run off the track

Derailed by the irony

Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming

On presidential roofs listen to the sinister drumming

Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming

On presidential roofs hear the sinister drumming

They warn of Armageddon, they warn us of apocalypse

The future's as a fool's invention

Of choking skies and computer chips

(There's a nightmare) civilization

(There's a monster) industry

Four horsemen have already arrived

I see them above us, already here

Four horsemen with hooves like knives

I say again, already here

(There's a nightmare) civilization

(There's a monster) industry

(There's a devil) human corruption

(There's a vampire) human greed

Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming

On presidential roofs listen to the sinister drumming

Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming

On presidential roofs hear the sinister drumming

(There's a nightmare) civilization

(There's a monster) industry

(There's a devil) human corruption

(There's a vampire) human greed

(There's a nightmare) civilization

(There's a monster) industry (

There's a devil) human corruption

(There's a vampire) human greed

It was never released on an “official” BOC album.

It and “Demon’s Kiss” were included in the score of “Bad Channels”, for which they provided the score.

The umlaut started as joke and now it’s part of rock and roll legend.

Lots of bands started sticking umlauts and other totally pointless diacritical marks on their names.
