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.
