about

This is a bushwacker song. Bushwackers were originally guerilla fighters on the side of the Confederacy in the American Civil War.
The English lyrics speak for any man or woman who feel they have suffered wrongs that drive them to take the law into their own hands. The opposing voice in Saki's part warns the vigilante that judgement rests with God alone; in this case the name of God is Allah.

lyrics

Judgement Day

Took my little daughter upon my knee

To tell her all about the way they treated me

Had to fold my arms slowly walk away

Thinking in my mind trouble gonna come to you someday

Rollin’ and a-tumblin’ cryin’ all night long

Thinking all about those who done me wrong

Early in the morning came a knockin’ at my door

I said “hello Satan, I believe it’s time to go”

Me and the Devil walking side by side

Me and that old Evil Spirit looking for a bus to ride

Cos I took possession over Judgement Day

And I’m taking away the right of you to pray
