The Brotherhood

We’re The Brotherhood and we’re all for one and one for all,

When the time comes, at least one of us will be there at the end, when Jesus calls.

That will be a wonderful and joyous day,

Doesn’t matter when it happens: at home, work or at play.

Everyone will know by the ringing of the worldwide bell,

The time has arrived: “It’ll be Heaven or Hell”.

We are all hand-picked preachers, appointed by God,

I’ve been chosen (for whatever reason) to be our Father’s one and only lightning rod.

The time is approaching and it’s getting closer, day by day,

Dad has cut me loose, and I’m out and ready to play.

Whomever and whenever anyone wants to go “toe-to-toe”,

We’ll see exactly, at the end, who’s blood will flow.

My brothers and I are scattered all over the place,

I’m certain at one time or another, with one of them, you’ve come “face-to-face”.

So let me make this explicitly clear,

Clean the wax out both of your ears.

My 6,000 brothers and I are all hardcore,

We come in peace, but are prepared for war.
