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
Ў®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
BRIDGE
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
CHORUS
