An icy fear on the face of all man
Black pall spreading over the land
Red mask on the skull of the sun
The hordes of Khan have come
The rabble flee the Mongolian lust
Crowns of kings lie trampled in dust
Hail Temujin the barbarian son
The Genghis Khan has come
Khan, Khan, Khan
The devil rides with Temujin the warrior king
To the great wall of China where the emperor sleeps
The vulture circles while the peacock weeps
Your women, your childrеn, your gold or the sword
No one stands beforе the Tatar Lord, red slaughter
Burn it down, down, down, down to the ground
Burn it down, burn it down
An iron hand cracks the hot yellow scourge
War drums beat the funeral dirge
Turkish kings flee the axe tyranny
Of Mongol destiny
Bukhara stands, the symbol of man
Spires built by a civilized hand
Torch and sword is the bloody command
Then onto Samarkand
Khan, Khan, Khan
The devil rides with Temujin the warrior king
The northern bear crawled from Khan’s supremacy
Rape, pillage, sack by the sword
No one stands before the Tatar Lord, red slaughter
Burn it down, down, down, down to the ground
Burn it down, burn it down
Khan, Khan, Khan
The devil rides with Temujin the warrior king
Soothsayers whisper that the Khan must die
Five planets glimmer in a moonless sky
To Hades, to Satan, all hell to the sword
No one stands before the Tatar Lord, red slaughter
Burn it down, down, down, down to the ground
Burn it down, burn it down, hey
