Thunder Rising |
| They looked out from the fortress on the hill |
| There came a single warrior returning from the kill |
| The spoils of war hung from his horses mane |
| The bloody heads of enemies that he had freshly slayed |
| They saw the face, the eyes so sullen |
| Could only be the young Cúchulain |
| Thunder rising, thunder rising |
| Thunder rising early in the morning |
| Cities burning |
| The world keeps turning |
| Thunder rising early in the morning |
| The son of Lugh MacEithleen knew no fear |
| For just one blow at any foe to tell his end was near |
| So many tried to mock this Celtic son |
| They taunted and they teased him till |
| He slayed them one by one |
| And so they came, and so they’ve fallen |
| At the hands of young Cúchulain |
| Thunder rising, thunder rising |
| Thunder rising early in the morning |
| Cities burning |
| The world keeps turning |
| Thunder rising early in the morning |
| Long ago the legend has it |
| How the mighty Ulster men |
| Battled with the King Of Connacht |
| Fighting to the bitter end |
| No one knew what foolish reason |
| Caused this skirmish to begin |
| Was it treachery or treason |
| Or just the idle threats of drunken men? |
| Thunder rising, thunder rising |
| Thunder rising early in the morning |
| Cities burning |
| The world keeps turning |
| Thunder rising early in the morning |
| Thunder rising, thunder rising |
| Thunder rising early in the morning |
| Young men are dying |
| The widows are crying |
| Thunder rising early in the morning |
