Song | Thunder Rising |
Artist | Gary Moore |
Album | Wild Frontier |
They looked out from the | |
Fortress on the hill | |
There came a single warrior | |
Returning from the kill | |
The spoils of war hung | |
From his horses mane | |
The bloody heads of enemies | |
That he had freshly slayed | |
They saw the face | |
The eyes so sullen | |
Could only be the | |
Young CÇ | |
Chullain Thunder rising | |
Thunder rising | |
Thunder rising | |
Early in the morning | |
Cities burning | |
The world keeps turning | |
Thunder rising | |
Early in the morning | |
The son of | |
Lugh MacEithleen knew no fear | |
For just one blow at any foe | |
To tell his end was near | |
So many tried to mock this | |
Celtic son | |
They taunted and they teased him till | |
He slayed them one by one | |
And so they came | |
And so they've fallen at the hands of | |
Young C Chullain | |
Thunder rising | |
Thunder rising | |
Thunder rising | |
Early in the morning | |
Cities burning | |
The world keeps turning | |
Thunder rising | |
Early in the morning | |
Long ago the legend has it | |
How the mighty | |
Ulster men | |
Battled with the | |
King Of Connacht | |
Fighting to the bitter end | |
No one knew what foolish reason | |
Caused this skirmish to begin | |
Was it treachery or treason | |
Or just the idle threats of drunken men? | |
Thunder rising | |
Thunder rising | |
Thunder rising | |
Early in the morning | |
Cities burning | |
The world keeps turning | |
Thunder rising | |
Early in the morning | |
Thunder rising | |
Thunder rising | |
Thunder rising | |
Early in the morning | |
Young men are dying | |
The widows are crying | |
Thunder rising | |
Early in the morning |
They looked out from the | |
Fortress on the hill | |
There came a single warrior | |
Returning from the kill | |
The spoils of war hung | |
From his horses mane | |
The bloody heads of enemies | |
