Glorious Sons, The - Lightning Lyrics






You know the night is our addiction
It feels right in the blaze of the stars
And that's cause we spend too much time thinking
Looking to find a place better than where we are

They got a red flag for the beast in me
And they're feeding fire that burns beneath my feet
I'll let it burn

Wake up
Come on and catch a little lightning
There's darker places than this
There's darker places than this
Wake up
Come on can't you hear the thunder
There's darker places than this
There's darker places than this

If they're right
You know the satisfying burn
Of the fear we all grew to learn
And we wait for something, anything to happen at all
Oh we wait for something, anything to happen at all

Wake up
Come on and catch a little lightning
There's darker places than this
There's darker places than this
Wake up
Come on can't you hear the thunder
There's darker places than this
There's darker places than this

And we wait for something, anything to happen at all
Oh we wait for something, anything to happen at all

They got a red flag for the beast in me
And they're feeding fire that burns beneath my feet
I'll let it burn

Wake up
Come on and catch a little lightning
There's darker places than this
There's darker places than this
Wake up
Come on can't you hear the thunder
There's darker places than this
There's darker places than this
There's darker places than this
There's darker places than this

    A friend just introduced me to Glorious Sons a few weeks back. It is great to hear great music coming from our Canadian boys.

  45. p.... r....

    Just recently discovering these guys ... FLAT OUT R & R .. But .. brushed with a killer diller melodic marinade .. songwriter {vocalist ?} has THEE Touch .. So .. You guys are my neighbors eh? I'm in Buffalo, NY .. Peace Bridge to Canada is right around the corner. Looking to discover more .. just a terrific, unique mix of Flat Out In Your Face to .. just chillin' .. to back again .. KUDOS ..

  46. S.... P....

    So glad I discovered this band. They are Awesome!!

  47. O.... ....

    Wicked Track !

  48. H.... S....

    I love this song. I have been hearing on repeat for an hour now; still cant stop listening to it

  49. D.... C....

    Canada should be proud. To call these guys their own. Them and the Struts in one night in Chicago for me.... Yes

    D.... C....

    That would be a good show

    D.... C....

    I'm seeing Siravo, Bad Wolves, Glorious Sons, Fozzy, Joan Jett and the Black Hearts, The Struts, Evenesnce & Shinedown next month in Camden NJ and Glorious Sons & the struts along with fozzy & Jett are what I'm most looking forward to

    D.... C....

    Buffalo here!!! Woohoo!!!

    D.... C....

    Also saw them both on the same night about 2 weeks ago, amazing show. Love those 2 bands and still exceeded expectations

  50. M.... C....

    Fan but sad to never see them in concert..... :(.. Still love them. ;)

  51. B.... M....

    At this moment I'm watching there is 666k views! Lmao

  52. J.... X....

    Just have to say - you guys certainly are making a truly amazing name for yourselves. I am a born n raised Kingston girl who never really grooved to the Tragically Hip. The Hip has had a great run in the music industry and they will always be the grand daddy of Kingston bands to make it big. Now that they are retired and Gordie has passed its true time to showcase our next greatest hometown talent - THE GLORIOUS SONS are straight up the best Canadian rock band today and many days to come KEEP ON ROCKIN BOYS

  53. J.... S....

    Please come back to Ottawa

    J.... S....

    I loveeeeee these guys . Thanks so much for bringing back rock by hand . So cool to bang my head again.

  60. P.... R....

    Just discovered these guys! Sounds great! A great mix of many genres that i look for in music. Powerful rhythms, great sound = not over produced. Good music is about what feel when you hear it, not about what you think when you see it. Think about it.

  61. M.... ....

    this band is fucking stellar. Great band, finally some good music!!

  62. J.... R....

    So effing stoked you're coming back to Medicine Hat in November!!! Can't wait!!

  63. X.... G....

  73. m.... w....

    This single is simple and sweet .

  74. J.... U....

    the first time I ever heard of these guys u seen them live they played with 10 years and they blew me away if you like this see them live

  75. S.... L....

    Hey, this is the exact same song as Lips from an Angel -_-

  76. d.... p....

    Chorus reminds me of Tonight by Seether

    d.... p....

    Kind of

  77. M.... ....

    I can't believe sitting here with the band there got it going on as they rock to metal and classic rock.

  78. J.... M....

    His voice reminds me of Foo Fighters

  79. G.... C....

    @Bobby Glenn....you mad bro?? haha. Get a life man. for someone who dislikes the Sons you really seem to be really focused on what they are doing. You sound like a psycho man.

  80. B.... K....

    Wow....GREAT song and I loveeee these guys! Brett Emmons is awesome with a phenomenal voice! Amazing home-based rock band. <3

    B.... K....

    well if ya"ll like a FAT young version of Meatloaf, all drunk and staggering around the stage, and an ALCOHOLIC who is also a bit of a COCAINE user, and flails his PSORIASIS infected chubby arms in windmills...well...ENJOY! LMFAO
    William be like, "wowie, Brett's my hero!"

    B.... K....

    Yup to the last part ;)

    B.... K....

    You sound mad bro. Did he bang your girlfriend? Or was it your mom?

    B.... K....

    you do realize if you've liked any rock/heavy rock band they have atleast one member whos either a coke addict or alcoholic or in most cases both and if not coke than probably heroin

  81. g.... ....

    can't believe you guys are playing the gouverneur fair. see you there

  82. B.... G....

    WEAKSAUCE IS RIGHT!
    RIP OFF OF BRUCE COCKBURN "LOVER IN A DANGEROUS TIME" INTRO.
    YOU GONNA GET SUED BREMMONS!

    B.... G....

    If I may ask a serious question.....did something happen a long time ago with these guys that made you not like them? I've noticed you've made a lot of comments on their videos and they've been pretty negative. (again, serious question, not trying to start a war of words)

    B.... G....

    THE GLORIOUS PLAGIARIZERS ARE WEAK SAUCE, 3 CHORD WONDER SONGS, NO SOLOS, AND THEIR LIVE SHOW IS LAUGHABLE WITH EVERY ROCK CLICHE YOU COULD THINK OF!

    B.... G....

    I've wondered the same thing, actually, Joshua Krupp. The bitter taste in his mouth is worse than when I had to eat my mom's liver and onions when I was a kid!

    B.... G....

    Ok...but like, you do know that pretty much every song is compromised of a mixture of the same notes an keys, just arranged differently lol. There is thousands of songs that can sound like another.

  83. B.... G....

    AH, SHIT, YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF BLATANT PLAGIARISM BY THIS BAND. AS SOMEBODY ELSE RIGHTFULLY STATED THE INTRO HERE IS LIFTED AND STOLEN FROM BRUCE COCKBURN'S "LOVERS IN A DANGEROUS TIME". IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME PLAY THEM BACK TO BACK AND VOILA...MORE PLAGIARISM, FROM THIS BAND, AKA, THE GLORIOUS THIEVES!

    B.... G....

    bobby i would love to see some of your work here on you tube . You seem to be a great critic ; i'm curious if you actually know anything about music ??

    B.... G....

    HI, Music Major here to clear the air (probably not though).You have been quoted in saying that "THE GLORIOUS PLAGIARIZERS ARE WEAK SAUCE, 3 CHORD WONDER SONGS, NO SOLOS, AND THEIR LIVE SHOW IS LAUGHABLE" This song actually possesses 5 (not 3) different chords in its progression. You also referenced Bob Dylan as if you had an admiration for him, and he was very well known for not playing solos, so much in fact that when he switched to electric guitar there were riots. Bob Dylan is also well known for writing 3 chord songs while adding the exact same harmonica hooks. Final point: If you actually want people to come out to your shows, then you have to do A LOT of cliches to maintain interest. in summation, if you intend to rip on musicians that use simple chord progressions to create a song, then you should be giving every single band that does it the same degree of shit, its only ethical. So don't forget Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Weezer, Van Halen, and any person that uses standard form when writing music. (AKA Everyone, Dur)

    B.... G....

    Dylan Creed *drops mic*

    B.... G....

    Pity Bruce's voice is pisspoor compare to Brett's.....lol.....

    B.... G....

    You literally sound like every internet troll there is. I mean if you actually formulated your thoughts in a constructive way as a discussion, people MIGHT take you more seriously. Really though It sounds like you are triggered and upset. Soo your over usage of insults and laughing really just groups you with immature kids putting on a Peacock parade to try and distract everyone from how angry you are.

  84. B.... G....

    TWEENS (MUSICALLY UNEDUCATED ONES) LIKE THIS SHIT? AH, GENE SIMMONS IS RIGHT, ROCK IS DEAD...

    B.... G....

    Hey at least I am not the one commenting on videos saying the song was stolen from another band, you know no one cares if they stole it or not right. But then again you are more than likely a 30 year old who has nothing better to do then comment multiple times on one video.

    B.... G....

    Likes his own comment too. "Silent claping"

    B.... G....

    WesternOutlaw...I live in Belleville Ontario...do you live close by?
    Could we meet up?? I'd LOVE for you to say this shit to my face, oh man I'd just LOVE to meet up with you, remember what I said about "twigs" getting "snapped". Govern yourself carefully Mr. Outlaw LMFAO!

    B.... G....

    B.... G....

    Why would you ever take Gene Simmons seriously? He's the exact embodiment of everything you should (apparently) hate about music. 4 chord songs, bad live performances, and rock cliches. At least stay consistent when complaining about something guy, this is embarrassing.

  85. K.... E....

    Went to the Burlington Sound Of Music Festival a few days ago and finally got to see the ontario boys live!!!!! was not fucken dissapointed! best fucken show iv ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait to see them again 1 time isnt close to enough

  86. S.... P....

    I got tickets for timmins show july

  87. M.... R....

    Love these guys!! They don't get enough PR!

  88. M.... C....

    Stoked they are coming to the Calgary stampede! see you boys there!

  89. M.... F....

    seen these guys 3 times now. Theyre local Kingston show was obviously the best but I highly suggest supporting these guys. Blow your fucking mind for 30 bucks best money ever spent. Im the guy screaming "we love you!!" at the back of the crowd. Ale house, John street pub and bluesfest. cant wait to see them again.

    M.... F....

    +Mitchell Fisher I'm with you! They are mind blowing! I've seen them at the Ale house and I was also at the John St. Pub show (my personal fav.) in Arnprior last month. Next up Rock Fest in Belleville July.21.2016 and they just so happen to be playing at the New Glasgow Riverfront Jubilee when I am on vacation back home (Nova Scotia) July.29.2016. Love these boys!

  90. V.... K....

    Soein tolles geiles Musikvideo habe ich schon lange nicht mehr gehört Musik und die Stimme ist sowas von super geil einfach klasse Saalfeld

  91. G.... O....

    definitely on the list of songs that "saved my life"

    G.... O....

    See, you get it, like it has for me too....this song really made a connection with me when I needed it most. :)

    G.... O....

    IF IT TOOK THIS SHIT SONG, RIPPED OFF FROM BRUCE COCKBURN'S "LOVERS IN A DANGEROUS TIME" TO "SAVE YOUR LIFE", AH SHIT GARTH, SORRY TO SAY BUT hahahahahahahaha!

    G.... O....

    IF IT TOOK THIS SHIT SONG, RIPPED OFF FROM BRUCE COCKBURN'S "LOVERS IN A DANGEROUS TIME" TO "SAVE YOUR LIFE", AH SHIT WILL, SORRY TO SAY BUT hahahahahahahaha!

    G.... O....

    Same!! Love this song so much.

    G.... O....

    Shut up Bobby. Damn haters like you that just dont appreciate music

  92. D.... B....

    favourite song by them!! <3

  93. A.... T....

    am I that one percent of people on earth under 20 that know what music is and not bad poetry writters

  94. N.... M....

    the glorious sons are the best rock band ever. I am a number 1 fan.love you guys. love nadia manzoni

  95. p.... ....

    why arent these guys famous? oh yeah u have to sell out to become famous.. :/

    p.... ....

    How is this song not a sellout? I don't mind this band, they've got some really good songs. But for one, they do blatantly rip other songs off. There are a few good examples. Plus this song is exactly what the radio and executives want. Basic/boring ass chord progression, mediocre lyrics, no show of skill or talent (other than vocals obviosuly) and a sound that's been done so many fucking times this could be 200 others bands song, and you'd never tell. Generic ass rock. But some other songs are pretty good whilst pretty basic

    p.... ....

    Josh Giesbrecht some time simplicity is better. Remember when you were younger and wanted to grow up? Now the tables turned simply on the fact that life is much more simpler back in the day. I get your point about ripping other songs off but the second reason isn't that strong of a statement.

  96. D.... S....

    They are going to be at Rocklahoma in May. Pretty excited about that!

  97. V.... R....

    Canadian gold.

    V.... R....

    Vicki Reed played my home town.....Hell yah we Canadians can do it!!!!!

  98. R.... K....

    My favorite band. I must see them again!

    WAKE UP COME ON CATCH A LITTLE LIGHTNING!!

  99. T.... R....

    I dont get this at all you guys this music is way better than most crap out there and so less views, I'm glad I'm actually part of something

    T.... R....

    +Tredal Racette I could cut and paste your comment onto a lot of videos. Commercial computer-created pop or mixing-other-people's-music "rap": millions of views. Real, original music by a real, talented band? Only a few thousand views. The vast majority of under-30's don't even know what music is.
