A flat-footed traveler came in off the street
And opened up his carpet bag of persian at my feet
And gathering up the remnant trampled neath his heels
Ive come for your brother he said pointin to the fields
Blazing now flames of blue
Brace yourself I will take him from you
His face was not angelical saintly in the least
And I could tell from his accent he was from the east
And I took him for a cripple he walked with a cane
Ive come for your brother he said pointin to the plains
Blazing now flames of blue
Brace yourself I will take him from you
Take him from you
Ooh ooh ooh
Now the new world flags are flyin ships are on alert
The orders sent out overseas mustnt be overheard
While information flickers in her war machines
Me I have my orders and lamps of kerosene
Blazing now flames of blue
Brace yourself I will take him from you
I will take him from you
Ooh ooh ooh
I will take him from you
I will take him from you
I will take him
Ooh ooh ooh
