When the War Comes Songtext
von Blue Öyster Cult

When the bones of our oppressors have turned to dust
And the cause that we serve rules the world
In a vision, visitation
All hail the revolution

A vision of evo, revolution
Armies of the past retreat in the wake of revolution
A journey to the country of the fourth admission
A spectacle of awakening light
The soldiers are baffled, but still they fight

Creator, destroyer, victory, defeat
I did not come to bring a sleep
Black flag, red flag, space and time
The future is my mind


Judgement day descends upon us after the revolution
The purge has come to set you free
On the lips, the light called truth
A modest time for victory
Energy imprisoned will make itself free

Creator, destroyer, victory, defeat
I did not come to bring a 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
