When Lightning Strikes

Words and Music by David Seguin

A shattered chord on a broken night,
A mother lies dying as a young child dies,
The sweet song of steel screaming on the wind,
All the women are wailing to the nights bitter end,

Horsemen riding in from the hills,
Dust in the air as your blood starts to chill,
Lightning bolts crackle with mem'ries of these,
Legends foretelling the slayers of beasts,

There's a storm cloud coming gonna light up the night,
There's a storm cloud coming it's a horrible sight,
Bringing fire and steel from the heart of the night,
You better take cover when lightning strikes,
When lightning strikes, When lightning strikes...

I wouldn't lie and claim we all were saints,
Ours hands are just as bloody as those of the slain,
Don't be afraid,
There are no beasts in our eyes,
Only a soul in a hero's disguise,

When the blood lust sings in the back of your mind,
All humanity's lost,
The thin veneer of a lie,
It's so hard to consider our mission of hope,
Passions tied down by a hanging man's rope,

Repeat chorus:

(Guess) they thought they'd escaped when we found them at dawn,
Swords flash like lightning,
A righting of wrongs,
Magnificence burns bright,
A raven's dark feast,
[Sir]] Theo and company,
The slayer of beasts,

Heed now my warning harbingers of the beast,
Beware of storm clouds,
Lighting the sky to the east,
Know we will find you afore you get far,
Annihilus descends,
An avenging bright star,

Repeat chorus:
