Set your wooden horses to roam 

In the dust, come galloping home 

Ah, into the grave 

Sooner or late 

You'll be led like a child 

By the hidden hand of fate 



Oh the silver hearse is in wait 

And she revs outside a' the gate 

Ah, sooner or late 

Sooner or late 

To be snuffed like a flame 

By the hidden hand of fate 



Set your nuclear rockets ta' aim 

When ya mingle riches and faith 

The rules of the game 

Sooner or late…. 



Set you're fields of poppies aflame 

In your one god's heavenly name 

Ah, sooner or late 

Sooner or late 

You'll be plucked like a fig 

By the hidden hand of fate 



Set your wooden horses to roam 

In the dust, come galloping home 

Ah, into the grave 

Sooner or late 

You'll be led like a child 

By the hidden hand of fate 

You'll be led like a child 

By the hidden hand of fate 

To be snuffed like a flame 

By the hidden hand of fate 

Plucked like a fig 

By the hidden hand of fate 

By the hidden hand of fate
