Originally done as a reggae tune. François, if my memory doesn't disserve me, even sent it to Sinéad O'Connor when she was on her reggae trip.
lyrics
The unseen has revealed the indisputable, the eternal has demanded that we fight for right
Defend the absolute with courageous might, smite the evil-doer and avenge the criminal
Fire and brimstone will rain down on the infidel
You're with us or against us, people of God or beasts of Hell
We fight for the lowly and for the oppressed, stand up for their rights and fulfill their needs
Smash their enemies, protect their interests, create a paradise from sea to shining sea
Fire and brimstone will rein down on the oppressor
You're with us or against us, scourge or savior
The one way is the one way
The one truth is the one truth
The one God is the one God
Choose your camp, there's no standing on the sidelines
The choice is clear, there's no need for your questioning
Takes up arms, gird your loins, now has come the time
Prepare the way for the day of reckoning
Fire and brimstone will reign down on those who sleep
You're with us or against us, people of God or nodding sheep
Fire & brimstone...
