Lyrics[edit | edit source]
When the bones of our oppressors have turned to dust
And the cause that we serve rules the world
Then a vision, visitation, all hail the revolution!
A vision
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
Judgment day descends upon us after the revolution
The virgins come to set you free, on their lips, the lie 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
