The Sisterhood - Gift - Cover (Front)

Jihad is an 8:17 minute long track released on The Sisterhood album Gift in 1986.

It is the first track of the album.

A Russian Flexi of this track does exist as well.

There are also various fan-produced videos featuring the song available on the net.

The visual contents of these videos differ remarkably, while the track used (unasked, of course)
is always the same Jihad from The Sisterhood album Gift.

Lyrics

The entire lyrics to this song consist of a repeated: Two-five-zero-zero-zero - Jihad!'
