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
I`ve 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
I`ve 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 mustn`t 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
