Lyrics

War? (Live from the Hurricane Festival, 2005)

[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

Oh

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens

We will fight the heathens, we will fight the

[Post-Chorus: Serj Tankian]

With all your AK-47's, M60's

We will fight the heathens, we will fight the

With all your AK-47's, M60's

We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens

[Bridge: Serj Tankian, Daron Malakian, both]

Soldiers marching on

Believing there's no God

Deciding narrow minds

Living in the skies

We must call upon our bright darkness

We must swim through the river of silence

We must break through the wall of violence

Nothing else will get us down

We must call to our bright darkness

We must swim through the river of silence

We must break through the wall of violence

Nothing else will get us down

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

We must call to 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— ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch

No call of the righteous (Man)— ch-chk-chk-chk-chk-chk

Needs a reason to kill (A man)— ch-chk-chk-chk-chk-chk

History teaches us (So)— ch-chk-chk-chk-chk-chk

The reason he must attain must be approved by his God

His child, partisan brother of war

[Pre-Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]

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: Serj Tankian]

We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens

We will fight the heathens, we will fight the

[Outro: Serj Tankian]

With all your AK-47's, M60's

We will fight the heathens, we will fight the

With all your AK-47's, M60's

We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
