LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The threat is one of many that ISIS has released over the years - but what makes this one especially chilling is the use of children singing.
"Our warriors are everywhere, ready to sacrifice themselves,' one of the song's lines states.
The French jihadi song, called a nasheed, was recorded by children and played in the background as the video shows children in matching military fatigues, black beanies and beige tactical vests appear to be training.
A message appears before each new scene reading: "We are ready to fight back. Our swords are sharpened to slice necks. You grant yourselves the right to massacre in the name of your so-called precious freedoms.
"Your goods, your lives - to us, none of it is sacred. Your blood will flow for your heinous crimes. Beware. Men are ready to blow themselves up, ready to respond to the evil you have brought, bought. Beware. Your roads will soon be rigged with mines by well-trained and determined brothers.
"Beware. Your end is already planned. Our warriors are everywhere. Ready to sacrifice themselves. Beware. Our orphans are growing. They feed their thirst for revenge in rage. You grant yourselves the right to massacre us in the name of your so-called precious freedoms.
"Your goods, your lives - to us, none of it is sacred. Your blood will flow for your heinous crimes."
The children featured in the video appear to be no more than 10 to twelve-years-old, yet they are handling weapons and appear to be preparing for war.
According to Express, another propaganda video includes a young boy sitting in a truck receiving his father's blessings before leaving for a suicide mission.
As ISIS continues to spread its horrific practices, the world continues to be shocked by the group's brutality and disregard for life.
