Thunder Rising

[00:34.88] They looked out from the fortress on the hill.
[00:40.92] There came a single warrior returning from the kill.
[00:48.26] The spoils of war hung from his horses mane.
[00:53.80] The bloody heads of enemies that he had freshly slayed.
[01:00.97] They saw the face, the eyes so sullen,
[01:04.13] Could only be the young Cúchulain.
[01:08.76] Thunder rising, thunder rising,
[01:15.66] Thunder rising early in the morning.
[01:22.01] Cities burning,
[01:25.09] The world keeps turning.
[01:28.33] Thunder rising early in the morning.
[01:35.42] The son of Lugh MacEithleen knew no fear.
[01:40.07] For just one blow at any foe to tell his end was near.
[01:47.52] So many tried to mock this Celtic son.
[01:53.43] They taunted and they teased him till
[01:56.34] He slayed them one by one.
[02:00.13] And so they came, and so they've fallen
[02:03.29] At the hands of young Cúchulain.
[02:07.69] Thunder rising, thunder rising,
[02:11.29] Thunder rising early in the morning.
[02:21.47] Cities burning,
[02:24.56] The world keeps turning.
[02:27.73] Thunder rising early in the morning.
[02:33.88]
[02:39.84] Long ago the legend has it,
[02:43.14] How the mighty Ulster men
[02:46.72] Battled with the King Of Connacht,
[02:49.67] Fighting to the bitter end.
[02:53.08] No one knew what foolish reason
[02:55.90] Caused this skirmish to begin.
[02:59.64] Was it treachery or treason,
[03:02.40] Or just the idle threats of drunken men?
[03:07.90]
[04:16.87] Thunder rising, thunder rising,
[04:23.06] Thunder rising early in the morning.
[04:29.57] Cities burning,
[04:33.37] The world keeps turning.
[04:36.43] Thunder rising early in the morning.
[04:43.70] Thunder rising, thunder rising,
[04:50.04] Thunder rising early in the morning.
[04:56.01] Young men are dying,
[04:59.22] The widows are crying.
[05:02.93] Thunder rising early in the morning.
