When The War Comes Lyrics - Blue Oyster 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 

Judgment 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
