Lyrics

Soldiers of Islam are loading their guns

They're getting ready

But the Russian tanks are mowing them down

They're getting ready

There's children in Africa with tommy guns

Getting ready

While the Islam armies are beckoning on

They're getting ready

There's a burning sun

And it sets in the western world

But it rises in the east

And pretty soon

It's gonna burn your temples down

While the heads of state are having their fun

Are they ready?

We're looking at the world through the barrel of a gun

Are we ready?

And you stand there beating on your little war drum

Are you ready?

And it won't be long before your time has come

Are you ready?

There's a burning sun

And it sets in the western world

But it rises in the east

And pretty soon

It's gonna burn your temples down, down

There's a burning sun

And it sets in the western world

But it rises in the east

And pretty soon

It's gonna burn your temples down

Warhead, warhead, warhead

Warhead, warhead, warhead

Warhead, warhead, warhead

Warhead, warhead, warhead

Warhead, warhead, warhead

Warhead, warhead, warhead

Warhead, warhead, warhead
