Fire and brimstone

(The Bootleggers featuring Mark Lanegan)

I had a dream last night while I was laying in my bed
And the whole world was standing still and the moon was turning red.
I saw a sign in the sky, I have come to set you free
There’s a light shining bright, shining down, down on me.

I saw fire, fire and brimstone coming down on my head
I saw fire, fire and brimstone coming down on my head.

I look around, I saw hoards, I heard a voice say “come to me”
I felt the rumbling beneath my feet and the whole world was shaking free
And the sun was standing still, it was dark, but I could see.

I saw fire, fire and brimstone coming down on my head
I saw fire, fire and brimstone coming down, down on me.

I saw fire, fire and brimstone coming down on my head
I saw fire, fire and brimstone coming down, down on me.

I looked around, I saw hoards, I heard a voice say “come to me”
I felt the rumbling beneath my feet and the whole world was shaking free.

I saw fire, fire and brimstone coming down on my head
I saw fire, fire and brimstone coming down, down on me.
I saw fire, fire, fire, fire and brimstone.
I saw fire, I saw fire, I saw fire coming down
I saw fire, fire and brimstone, fire and brimstone coming down.
I saw fire, fire and brimstone coming down on my head
I saw fire.
