(Spoken word)
On both banks of the river, red obisidian, heavy smoke
Leather slings, feathered arrows, many deities carried off in ropes
Big drums, small wagers, cold daggers, lambs
But all goes very quiet at the sudden shifting
At the sudden shifting of the sand
Fear and loathing
Highway burning
We come to scalp your souls
Trench warfare
Demolition
Unleash the dogs of war
Fuel injected suicide machine
Animal instinct, killing disease
Hell on earth I inflikt
The world is burning
The sky is falling
Ayatollah of rock 'n' rolla
Ayatollah of rock 'n' rolla
Failed crusaders roam the land
Hearts of wind, lungs of sand
Fuel injected, suicide machine
Anima instinct, killing disease

Ayatollah of rock 'n' rolla
Sanctuary burning
Looting and pillaging
Killing and screaming
Punishing coming
Brain washing
Death dealing
Pain of inflikting
Terror bringing
Devil's breathing
Face smashing
Bomb blasting
Thunder roaring
Failed crusaders roam the land
Hearts of wind, lungs of sand
I am defected
Nuclear head
Follow me till the end
I was rejected
Children septic
Human flesh I ate
Fuel injected, suicide machine
Animal instinct, killing disease
Ayatollah of rock 'n' rolla
Ayatollah of rock 'n' rolla
(Spoken word)
The stars quicken westward, the broken beast charges away
Speaking of the angels that many years ago fell upon the plain
Covenant, vengeance, the mortality of men
Another day at the doorstep begging mercy
Before the palace of the djinn

Max Cavalera:
A song like “Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla,” it was something totally new. I never did anything like that before. It starts with like this Country, cowboy riff, and Neil [Fallon] starts talking over it and it was so killer! And of course that line in the chorus “Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Ro...
