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
