Blackberry Smoke - Waiting For The Thunder Lyrics






Light the fuse and run now brother cause you ain't got a lot of time
Don't you act surprised when it all goes to hell on your dime
Maybe you can stand tall enough to look the devil eye to eye
But you better make your get away quick so you don't have to answer why

The bells will ring
And the flames will fly
Two thousand years of fury in the big black sky
The wind will blow
And the rain will fall
Are we waiting for the thunder
Or will the lightning get us all

Waiting for the thunder

All the money and the war and religion and the which one do you serve?
Maybe them with the power and the glory got more then they deserve
Why do we stand by and do nothing while they piss it all away
And we hope we wake up in the mornin' to the light of a brand new day

The bells will ring
And the flames will fly
Two thousand years of fury in the big black sky
The wind will blow
And the rain will fall
Are we waiting for the thunder
Or will the lightning get us all

The bells will ring
And the flames will fly
Two thousand years of fury in the big black sky
The wind will blow
And the rain will fall
Are we waiting for the thunder
Or will the lightning get us all

Waiting for the thunder
Waiting for the thunder
Waiting for the thunder

    You could travel back in time to the late 60's and these guys could make their nitch with some of the power groups back then.A group with a powerful sound and statement fuck ! I thought that was almost dead! They are just in time for another social statement.

  83. J.... F....

    over 200.000 views and only 2000 likes.What is going wrong in this music world????

    J.... F....

    Jens Franke The mainstream music industry is controlled by the illuminati, for that reason they never will be big Radio chart buster, because they know it's not worth the price for selling out , be thankful they're not a household name so to speak, think about it like this it makes sense because some or the biggest acts on the planet 🌎 have no real talent or substance it's puppets on strings that have no control over their own music or should I say so called music, go do your research then it will become obvious who controls the music industry, its a rigged industry so go spread the word, Stop big Radio 📻 in its TRACKS ! Just say no to big Radio?

  84. J.... B....

    holy f*** what a discovery this band was, pass the whiskey...

  92. L.... P....

    That's what is up

  93. s.... ....

    How could it happen that after so many years of great rock music in Britain, the charts have declined to this. I guess, in 2000-2010, there were loads of British bands playing better songs than this in pubs. This sounds like a reheasal of AC/DC.

  94. F.... S....

    Good rock n roll is still alive!

  95. G.... C....

    ehhh dalla Italia dico...grande band...!!!!

  96. B.... S....
