lyrics

VERSE 1
Ahmed knows what time it is, the burning sands rain down on his loved ones
Britannia winks at Uncle Sam and they go flying in the sun just to burn them
A feller from the Union Bank says I can change the whole wide land, I deal in solutions
But first you gotta swap your God for this one that the dollar's got to but your munitions

And before too many minutes tick by wagon wheels are rolling
And out come some uniform men in square metal hats

VERSE 2
Ahmed reads inside men's hearts, he sees an end about to start, it's all in the timing
The West believes that it is best, the Reds are gone, where are the enemy hiding?
Corporations take the lead making everything we need, convince politicians
To open doors and close frontiers, to turn blind eyes and install fear like backroom magicians

Before too many minutes tick by wagon wheels are rolling
And out come those uniform men in full metal hats
They're getting ready to kill...executing somebody's Will

VERSE 3
Ahmed sees the time to come before the burning of the sun, Jihad is calling
When souls of men can feel no pain it's no disgrace to see the enemy falling
Understanding is chipped away by words created just to say what only a few want to
Will no one shake the language tree so words may fall for all to see what lies behind them

They're getting ready to kill...executing somebody's Will
Ahmed knows what time it is
