Red war will fall on my enemies
Babylon is full of hypocrisy
You feel the hate is for real
Cause red war will fall on my enemies

Red war
Red war
Red war
Red war

Watch y aback watch ya back watch ya back

The sign of the cross i carry into war
The kyber pass where no one rests
Hold my head up the judah lion
Twelve tribes in the mountains of zion
Babylon fall and red war will come
Babylon fall

Red war
Red war

Watchyabackwatchyabackwatchyaback

Red war will fall on my enemies

    The Song is about a holy war with Afghanistan. THe song was written one week before 9/11 and Max wrote after watching the movie "The Man Who Would Be King"

    I love this song, it's my second favorite after 'centuries of sin' off the Probot album.

    I agree with everyoe else on here, I think it is about holy war in the middle east.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
