Lyrics

Stormbringer

[Verse 1]

Coming out of nowhere

Driving like rain

Stormbringer dance

On the thunder again

Dark cloud gathering

Breaking the day

No point running

Because it's coming your way

[Chorus]

Ride the rainbow

Crack the sky

Stormbringer coming

Time to die

Got to keep running

Stormbringer coming

He's got nothing you need

He's going to make you bleed

And you know he's gonna get you

[Verse 2]

Rainbow shaker

On a stallion twister

Bareback rider

On the eye of the sky

Stormbringer coming down

Meaning to stay

Thunder and lightning

Heading your way

[Chorus]

Ride the rainbow

Crack the sky

Stormbringer coming

Time to die

Got to keep running

Stormbringer coming

He's got nothing you need

He's going to make you bleed

[Verse 3]

Coming out of nowhere

Driving like rain

Stormbringer dance

On the thunder again

Dark cloud gathering

Breaking the day

No point running

Because it's coming your way

[Outro]

'Cause it's coming your way

'Cause it's coming your way

'Cause it's coming your way

'Cause it's coming your way

'Cause it's coming your way
