Lyrics:

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
