Aphrodite’s Child

Songwriter: Costas Ferris Vangelis

Producer: Vangelis

I saw the souls
I saw the martyrs
I heard them crying
I heard them shouting
They were dressed in white
They'd been told to wait

The sun was black
The moon was red
The stars were falling
The earth was trembling
And then a crowd
Impossible to number
Dressed in white
Carrying palms
Shouted amid
The hotless sun
The lightless moon
The windless earth
The colourless sky

They'll no more suffer from hunger
They'll no more suffer from thirst

They'll no more suffer from hunger
They'll no more suffer from thirst

They'll no more suffer from hunger
They'll no more suffer from thirst

Aphrodite’s Child was a Greek progressive rock band formed in 1967, by Vangelis Papathanassiou (keyboards, flutes), Demis Roussos (bass, acoustic and electric guitar, vocals), Loukas Sideras (drums and vocals), and Silver Koulouris (guitar). The band’s career ended shortly after release of their most impactful album, 666, which has appeared on a number of lists of the top progressive or psychedelic albums of all time.
