Thunder! Do I hear thunder?
There are those who have lived their entire life in peace
Peace bought and paid for by their father's and grandfather's blood
They never heard a shot fired in anger, nor bullets sing like wasps
They have not held hand on a friend's chest as his glassy eyes darkened
There are those who have lived in peace, their whole life in peace
Not knowing the smell of powder, of blood, the odor of death
They live in peace unafraid of its price
A price they never paid
There are those who revile freedom's price
They never having seen the sun rise
On a day in bondage to anyone
There are those who speak of Truth
As something they have earned
Yet know nothing of its price
There are those who never heard the Thunder
Thunder of approaching war, thunder of cavalry
Thunder of a million men marching to war
There are those who long for peace
Not knowing its price, they hope to buy it
Their enemy knows that the price of victory
Is not one's own blood, but the blood of the slain
The blood of those who longed for peace with their enemy
Those who hope to buy peace at any price
Any price except their own blood
Do you hear the sound of Thunder?
Would you think it other than approaching storm?
OH! Yes, approaching storm it surely is
The Storm of horsemen, storm of enemy loosed
The enemy loosed on those who sought to buy peace!
Peace at any price!
Well not quite any price
Since you were not willing to shed your precious blood
Of Peace, you will have none, none but a shallow grave
Oh, Listen, Hark I hear a prophet singing "Peace"
Listen to that sweet refrain!
"Peace, Peace, Hear my song!"
"This peace is free there is no price!"
(Surrender is such a small thing)
(A very small price to pay)
Do I hear Thunder?
No, that is not thunder
'tis the sound of Grumbling!
Those who shed their blood for your freedom
Those who shed their blood so you could know Truth
That you could live in the Glory! of Truth and Freedom
Grumbling, uncomfortable in their eternal sleep
Their peaceful sleep now disturbed because
You sell Cheap!
What they bought with their blood.
Do I hear Thunder?
Yes! The thunder of those who rush
To collect your surrender!
Your children, and
Their children forever
Will know the peace of servitude
And for the inheritance
You have left to them
They will curse your name!
Thunder! Do I hear thunder?
No, t'is just a bad dream
Go back to sleep.
