 The singer's opening proclamation "I am the God of Hellfire" became a lasting catchphrase.The song ends with the sound of a wind from Hell along with one of Brown's trademark banshee screams.Credit for the composition of "Fire" on the original vinyl single was to Arthur Brown and Vincent Crane only; however, Mike Finesilver and Peter Ker successfully sued for co-credit and royalties based on melodic similarities to their song "Baby, You're a Long Way Behind".
