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
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
