When The War Comes

Blue Öyster Cult · Club Ninja [1986]

When the bones of our oppressors are turned to dust

And the cause that we serve rules the world

In a vision

Visitation

All hail the revolution

Armies of the past retreat

In the wake of revolution

A journey to the country

Of the fourth dimension

Spectacle of awakening light

The soldiers are baffled but still they fight



Ooka chaka ooka chaka

Ooka chaka ooka chaka

Ooka chaka ooka chaka



Creator, destroyer, victory, defeat

I did not come to bring us sleep

Black flag, red flag, space and time

The future is my mind



Judgement day descends upon us

After the revolution

The virgins come to set you free

On their lips the light called truth

In minus time or victory

Energy imprisoned will make itself free



Ooka chaka ooka chaka

Ooka chaka ooka chaka

Ooka chaka ooka chaka

Ooka chaka ooka chaka



Creator, destroyer, victory, defeat

I did not come to bring us sleep

Black flag, red flag space and time

The future is my mind



When the war comes

When the war comes

When the war comes

When the war comes

War comes

When the war comes
