Song lyrics
Dark is the light,
The man you fight,
With all your prayers, incantations,
Running away, a trivial day,
Of judgment and deliverance,
To whom was sold, this bounty soul,
A gentile or a priest ?
Who victored over, the Seljuks,
When the holy land was taken

We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens

Was it the riches, of the land,
Powers of bright darkness,
That lead the noble, to the East,
To fight the heathens

We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens

We must call upon our bright darkness,
Beliefs, they're the bullets of the wicked,
One was written on the sword,
For you must enter a room to destroy it,
International security,
Call of the righteous man,
Needs a reason to kill man,
History teaches us so,
The reason he must attain,
Must be approved by his God, 
His child, partisan brother of war,

Of war, we don't speak anymore,
Of war, we don't speak anymore,
Of war, we don't speak anymore,
Of war, we don't speak anymore,

We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens

no all u dumbasses
theyre making fun of bush
by "we will fight the heathens" they mean devil worshipers
devil worshipers = gate way to evil
gateway to evil = countries such as iraq and iran
these countries were dubbed "gateways of evil" by our president George Bush
thus by "we will fight the heathens" they are telling bush to go fuck himself
and that he doesnt hold the right to say that n e country is evil
another valid reason for this accusation of System of a Down making fun of bush?
listen to all of their other songs

^this song was written in 1998 dude come on get real

heathen is a generic term for all non-christians...this song is full of irony and sarcasm, "we will fight the heathens" isnt literal, it's mocking cultures that have this "crusade" type mentality...you have to have a rather mature sense of irony to understand this song

Yeah, this song is immensely deeper than a lot of people realize. Most of it seems genunely in support of war if you don't pay attention, but then there are few gems that just hit home. This song owns the universe.
