Leituras

All the universe was silent, listening; and then the great black stallion raised his voice and sang. The song he sang was this:

My horses, prancing they are coming.
My horses, neighing they are coming;
Prancing they are coming.
All over the universe they come.
They will dance; may you behold them.
(4 times)
A horse nation, they will dance. May you behold them.
(4 times)

His voice was not loud, but it went all over the universe and filled it. There was nothing that did not hear, and it was more beautiful than anything can be. It was so beautiful that nothing anywhere could keep from dancing.

- Nicholas Black Elk, "Black Elk Speaks - The Great Vision" (as told through John G. Neihardt)

Quem não sabia onde é que Ian Astbury dos Cult foi buscar inspiração para o Horse Nation, e para tantas outras músicas, já passou a saber.
