They had come from across the state
Five horsemen on their steeds
Cavalcading at full speed
Those five had run to meet their fate
The redskin had painted his mask
A wigwam on his eyes
A Kiowa shaman was his guise
The magic he kept in a sack

Abducted and taken to space

Took off as a life form, unfurled…
