about
"The song began as a Doors-inspired jam led by Steve Empson's minor key vamp. I had recently watched the 1944 film of the same name starring Gregory Peck and improvised lyrics loosely inspired by it and found that I was commenting on what I perceived as the arrogance of so-called 'Christian' Catholic missionary zeal exemplified by Angus Mealey (Vincent Price) in the film. I opened the song with a lengthy guitar solo intro in the aeolian mode on my Fender Telecaster (A-flat on the recording). Steve's 60s San-Fran psychedelic inspired solo in the song is played on a Fender Strat using a non-branded spring reverb amp and a number of effects that Steve randomly hooked up to in the recording studio."

lyrics
Oriental China,
Do you want a preacher?
Someone who will teach you,
Someone who will save you.
Oriental China,
Do you want a preacher?
Someone who will save you from your heathen godless ways.
I know what it's like there.
I know what I'll find there.
If I get me the keys to the kingdom I'll stay.
Keys to the Kingdom.
[Repeat x2]
