[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 our own 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
