Crying out, "Do you hear that sound?"
I never thought it'd come to this
Paradise razed to the ground
Sometimes I don't sleep at night
I hear the wind in the moaning trees
I wonder how my child will fare
With wars and bombs and thieves
The thunder has begun
Some are blind, but choose to see
Lies into the truth they weave
Some put their trust in faith
Some say, "I don't believe"
But each man unto himself
Is an island in a raging sea
We're the boat to anchor or sail
Of the two, which will it be?
The thunder has begun
A storm is gonna come
Who's the one now watching you?
Who says your rights are wrong?
When the preacher and the judge align
A change is coming, it won't be long
We may have burned a bridge too far
We may have run ourselves too far
When you look into the mirror, friend
What is it that you want to ask?
The thunder has begun
Dear Father, when you left me here
You lay your head in eternal sleep
You told me, oh, that all remains
Love is all we have to keep
Black crows circling up above
Crying out, "Do you hear that sound?"
I'd never thought it'd come to this
Paradise razed to the ground
The thunder has begun
A storm is gonna come (Find a haven, find a shelter)
A storm is gonna come (Find a port, find a harbor)
A storm is gonna come (Find a friend, find a mother)
A storm is gonna come (Find a sister, find a brother)
