Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head
Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on Satan's call
Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth
Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
Was it polemically sent
I want to know what you meant
I want to know
I want to know what you meant
Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on Satan's call
Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth
Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
Was it polemically sent
I want to know what you meant
I want to know
I want to know what you meant

Okee anyways I think I figured out what this was about..
I's about this man named Aliester Croweley, and he was a British practioner of black magick in the early 1900's.
When Crowley was born they scattered the afterbirth because he had a birthmark shaped like a swastika. Ozzy sings about it in the line "They scattered the afterbirth."
Ozzy's album Diary Of A Madman is named after Crowley's autobiography. When he mentions a white horse that is a drug reference because Mr. Crowley was a known user of opium.
Okee, well thas all I know about this one.:)
he was a satan worshiper
first of all Ozzygurly I love you for knowing this I haven't met a single person who knows about Aleister Crowley <br /> <br /> and second no he was not a devil worshiper that is just a metaphor for his practices he actually worshipped horus the egyptian god of the king the sky and vengeance
hey, that part about his birthmark is crap. He was born in the 1900's, but before the 40's, and the swastika was originally a symbol for devout christians.<br /> (Note: im not a christian, i just know a lot about WWII era history)<br /> <br /> Georgia rules!
@calnahara You are obviously too sheep to tell. He was (quite obviously) a worshipper of Satan, probably more along the lines of Baphomet (which are one and the same), because they never use the term 'Satan' outright, although they allude to it all the time, and right in our faces at that. All egyptian god themes are (more often than not) Masonic/Oculist/Illuminati garbage, and is why you should be weary of triangles and eyeballs found in any and all artforms.
On the cover for Ozzy's single, Dreamer, he forms a triangle between his right eye.
...and then you've got the Washington Monument, which is not a statue of George Washington (as it probably should be), but of an Obelisk, that flashes what appears to be two red eyes.
