| Well, the lightning flashed at midnight
|
| And the dogs did howl along
|
| You don’t believe it — unless you’ve seen it
|
| It was the night the thunder broke
|
| There is no more creation
|
| No room for good — no hope
|
| You better cry for salvation — as
|
| The reaper dangled by the rope
|
| A scream for help — the morning after
|
| They’d equalised the score
|
| And in their minds — there’s only laughter
|
| A smile — without a cause
|
| And there was thunder in the tower
|
| As the cat crept out
|
| There was thunder in the tower
|
| There’s no escape — no doubt
|
| It’s been the night the birds were silent
|
| And the town was deadly still
|
| A curling lip — an icy grip
|
| ¡®n' bony fingers that can kill
|
| Assembling in the tower
|
| The payment bloody high
|
| They tried to cheat their final hour
|
| He’s gonna get them eye to eye
|
| Bridge
|
| And there was thunder in the tower
|
| Screaming silence in the air
|
| There was thunder in the tower
|
| Awesome power ev’rywhere
|
| And there was thunder in the tower
|
| They didn’t care it’s right or wrong
|
| There was thunder in the tower
|
| And the reaper came along |
