Light the fuse and run now brother
Cause you ain't got a lot of time
Don't you act surprised
When it all goes to hell on your dime
Maybe you can stand
Tall enough to look the devil eye to eye
But you better make your get away quick
So you don't have to answer why
The bells will ring
And the flames will fly
Two thousand years of fury in the big black sky
The wind will blow
And the rain will fall
Are we waiting for the thunder
Or will the lightning get us all
Waiting for the thunder
All the money and the war and religion
And the which one do you serve?
Maybe them with the power
And the glory got more then they deserve
Why do we stand by
And do nothing while they piss it all away
And we hope we wake up in the mornin'
To the light of a brand new day
The bells will ring
And the flames will fly
Two thousand years of fury in the big black sky
The wind will blow
And the rain will fall
Are we waiting for the thunder
Or will the lightning get us all
The bells will ring
And the flames will fly
Two thousand years of fury in the big black sky
The wind will blow
And the rain will fall
Are we waiting for the thunder
Or will the lightning get us all
Waiting for the thunder
Waiting for the thunder
Waiting for the thunder
