[Verse 1]

I have witnessed your death

I've seen it many times

Your tortured screams

Your decrepit little mind

A father's son

With pathetic eyes that bleed

Twins in the end

Begin and let the brothers fall


[Chorus 1]

I will see you burned alive

Screaming for your God

I will watch you die again for Him


[Verse 2]

God won't touch what I've done

He cries upon my feet

A privileged pain

Beneath buried are your dead

On splintered bones I walk

Sifting through the blood

Besieged in fear

Await the coming of the God


[Chorus 2]

I will watch you die again for Him


[Verse 3]

Blood is raining downward

The stain reflects the sun

Conquer divide within

Terrorize the mind

I've seen the end, it's yours

Rosary in hand

Your selfish flesh, it melts

Spilling from the sky


[Chorus 3]

I will see you burned alive

Screaming for your God

I will watch you die


[Hook]

This is God's war

God's war

This is God's war

God's war


[Verse 4]

War of holy principles

I'm seeking God's help in your destruction

Slit the throat of heathen man

And let his blood dilute the water

Bury your dead


[Verse 5]

Fuck your God, erase his name

A lady weeps, insane with sorrow

I'll take his towers from the world

You're fuckin' raped upon your deathbed


[Hook]

This is God's war

God's war

This is God's war

God's war

Fucking holy war


[Lead - Hanneman and King]


[Outro]

Be optimistic, happy, and calm

Show no fear or anxiety

Smile at the face of God

And your reward will be eternity

Holy warriors

Your patience will be justified

Everything is for Him

You must not comfort the animal before you kill it

Strike as champions at the heart of the nonbelievers

Strike above the neck and at all extremities

For it's a point of no return for Almighty God

God will give victory to his faithful servants

When you reach ground zero, you will have killed the enemy

The great Satan

A Rosary is a necklace with beads that is mainly used by the Catholic (although used by both Anglicanism and Lutheranism) church and its followers to aid to the count of the prayers of ‘The Rosary’ (the set of prayers).

Many people jumped out of the Twin Towers from high up after it was hit to avoid burning alive, as plunging to one’s death would be much quicker than burning alive.

This line describes one’s skin melting off their body as they jump out of the towers due to the fire, calling them “selfish” for choosing a quicker, less painful death.

“I’ll take his towers from the world You’re fuckin’ raped upon your deathbed”

As the terrorist does 9/11 he ‘rapes’ the West on his own country ‘deathbed’. Could be retribution as the same did the West to his country.

As this song is about the 9/11 hijackers, this spoken word finale takes excerpts from a document found in the luggage of Mohamed Atta, who lead the hijacking of American Airlines Flight 11, the first plane to hit the World Trade Center.

The entire document can be read here:

This lady could be a woman who lost someone to the war. However it could also refear to Mary (Jesus’s mother) for to killing of her people.

Could be interpreted as the next terrorist attack.

By “God,” the 9/11 hijackers, who were Islamists, mean Allah, the god of Islam. God (Allah) is commanding the hijackers to ignite a holy war against whomever or whatever He perceives to be a threat or enemy to Islam.

The terrorist might have seen multiple executions of christians. However it could also be interpreted as a dream he has seen many times.

“A father’s son”

A phrase which means that you are identical to your father. The terrorist is/could use this as an excuse to kill the younger population (who have nothing to do with the war) on a terrorist attack because these ‘fathers’ were the people that invaded his country.

“Fucking holy war”

The literal meaning of the song’s title Jihad is “struggle” or “effort,” though it is also widely used to describe a holy war.
