lyrics

DISTANT THUNDER ©2023 MONOLITHMUSIC / BMI
HEARING THAT THE BIG ONE IS COMING ANY DAY
YOU KNOW THE BIG BLUE SKY WILL BE TURNING RED AND GRAY
FORGET IT, JUST DON'T WONDER WHY
THE THOUGHT YOU FEAR WILL JUSTIFY
THE SOUND OF DISTANT THUNDER IN THE SKY

YOU KNOW MANKIND IS ALWAYS IN THE HANDS OF MORTAL MEN
YOU SEE IT ALWAYS HAPPENING TIME AND TIME AGAIN
WHO WILL PUSH THAT BUTTON DOWN
MISSILES COME FROM UNDERGROUND
THE HEAT OF DISTANT THUNDER BURNS YOU DOWN

CHORUS
DISTANT THUNDER CRASHING IN THE SKY
DISTANT THUNDER KISS IT ALL GOODBYE
DISTANT THUNDER FEEL IT VERY NEAR
DISTANT THUNDER I NEVER WANT TO HEAR

THERE IS REALLY NO PLACE LEFT WHERE WE CAN RUN
I GUESS I MIGHT AS WELL JUST THROW AWAY MY GUN
I JUST HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO PAY
PAY MORE DUES ON JUDGEMENT DAY
THE SOUND OF DISTANT THUNDER FAR AWAY

REPEAT CHORUS
