Distant Thunder

[Verse 1]

Every morning I wake up, and I switch the TV on

I like to watch the world go by from the safety of my home

News is looking bad today, like it always seems to be

I can't believe I'm so unmoved by the violence that I see

[Pre-Chorus]

It's a fact of life, but I can't cry anymore

'cos it happens all the time

[Chorus]

I hear the sound of distant thunder, it's coming closer every day

Soon there'll be lightning crashing to the ground

Feels like the end's not far away

[Verse 2]

As we race towards the future, we're not learning from the past

In the minefields of excess, you can hear the devil laugh

He can see what's going on, 'cos he knows the signs so well

It won't be long before we meet, on the road that leads to hell

[Pre-Chorus]

In the wink of an eye, a hundred years will pass

So there's no time left to lie

[Chorus]

I hear the sound of distant thunder, it's coming closer every day

Soon there'll be lightning crashing to the ground
