[Lyrics]
The first hellrider came
On wings of plenty in the dark
Poured out his poison
And he blew away his mark
The fascist from the east is coming
Mothers, hide your sons
The second hellrider came
From flaming seas and molten sands
Pipers playing Hell’s commands
Poured out his poison
With his promises of promised lands
Blackened tongues of lying leaders
Here come the riders
As the wheel of Dharma’s running out of time
Here come the riders
As the wheel of Dharma’s running out of time
The third hellrider came
Teaching brothers to kill brother men
And the fourth hellrider waits
On an acid trip for an acid world
Wars of old religious fools and superstitious men
Throw some scary Tarot cards and…
Here come the riders
As the wheel of Dharma’s running out of time
Here come the riders
As the revolution’s stepping into line
The dark side of Aquarius
Has robbed us of our souls and minds
Here come the riders
As the wheel of Dharma’s running out of time
From the starlit sky, on a silver sea
A lonely silver surfer comes to push the wheel for me
A lonely silver surfer comes to push the wheel for me
Gotta move, gotta move
Gotta move that wheel right ’round
Gotta move, gotta move
Gotta move that wheel right ’round
Gotta move, gotta move
Gotta move that wheel around
Gotta push the wheel of Dharma ’round
Push the wheel of Dharma ’round
Push the wheel of Dharma ’round
Push the wheel right ’round, right ’round
I’ve gotta move the wheel of Dharma
Gotta move the wheel of Dharma
Gotta move the wheel of Dharma
Move that wheel right around
Gotta move the wheel of Dharma
Gotta move the wheel of Dharma now

”Darkside Of Aquarius” is a song from Bruce Dickinson’s solo album, Accident of Birth 1997.
The album, Accident of Birth is a heavy metal album released in 1997 by Bruce Dickinson.
This is the second album made in collaboration with guitarist/producer Roy Z and is therefore much different from Bruce’s previous Skunkworks album. It marks Bruce’s return to his more melodic style of singing. He was also assisted by another former Iron Maiden member Adrian Smith and the two would later return to the band in early 1999. Thanks to the slightly bigger success of this album, Bruce would work with Roy Z in the future on his solo albums (including his latest, Tyranny of Souls).
Around the time he was creating the album, Bruce Dickinson’s mother told him that he was the result of a “failed abortion.” The album title and the title track are a reference to this revelation: Bruce was a birth that shouldn’t have been. It is not clear whether it was an actual botched abortion or that his mother was expressing regret at not having aborted her pregnancy.
The cover art was done by Derek Riggs, best known for being the creator of Iron Maiden’s mascot Eddie and the artwork on all Iron Maiden albums/singles/posters/tour brochures throughout 1980-1990. (Source : Wikipedia)
Most of the songs on the album featured Roy Z on guitar. His real name is Roy Romeriz but, in his words, “back in the ’80s it wasn’t really all that cool to have an ethnic last name, so I flipped it around and it became ‘Zerimar.’ Eventually, people just started abbreviating it for convenience sake’s and called me ‘Z,’ and it stuck.” However, the song “Ghost of Cain” (which was featured on the single) had Adrian Smith on guitar. Smith was the guitarist for Iron Maiden from 1980-1990 until leaving for his solo project, ASAP (Adrian Smith And Project). “Ghost of the Navigator” was the name of a song on Brave New World, the first Maiden album released after Dickinson rejoined the band.
Bruce Dickinson, about the album: “The truth is never clear… until it clobbers you over the head. That’s what happened when I decided to make the ultimate metal record. My favorite stuff, legends, sci-fi, fairy stories, dark deeds of the occult, set to slamming riffs, soaring vocals and great tunes.”

On This one i think he has a t-shirt with a puppet on it, from The Accident of Birth Album Cover. On my last comment, i meant the shirt Bruce is wearing on The “Scream for me Brazil” Sao Paulo show. Either way though.
