Lyrics:[]

[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]

Dark is the light, the man you fight with all your prayers, incantations

Running away, a trivial day of judgment and deliverance

To whom was sold this bounty soul, a gentile or a priest?

Who victored over the Seljuks when the holy land was taken?

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens

We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens

[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]

Was it the riches of the land, powers of bright darkness

That lead the nobles to the East to fight the heathens

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens

We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens

[Post-Chorus]

Now I got your Ak-47 turned 16. we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens

Now I got your Ak-47 tuned 16. we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens


[Interlude: Serj Tankian]

Solders Marching on.

Believing there's no god.

Disguising our own mind.

We must, call to our bright darkness

We must, swim to the river of silance.

We must, break through our walls of violence, nothing will get us down.

We must, call to our bright darkness

We must, swim to the river of silance.

We must, break through our walls of violence, nothing will get us down.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhh

ahhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhh ahhhh ah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Bridge: Serj Tankian]

We must call upon our bright darkness

Beliefs, they're the bullets of the wicked

One was written on the sword

For you must enter a room to destroy it, destroy it, destroy it

No International security, no call of the righteous man

Needs a reason to kill a man, history teaches us so

The reason he must attain must be approved by his God

His child, partisan brother of war

[Pre-Chorus]

Of war, we don't speak anymore

Of war, we don't speak anymore

Of war, we don't speak anymore

Of war, we don't speak anymore

[Chorus]

We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens

We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens

[Outro]

Now I got your ak-47 turned 16, we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens

Now I got your ak-47 turned 16, we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
