Hmm-mm
Oh-oh
Ooh-ooh
First it was heaven (mm-mm)
Everything roses and fire
You and I were golden (ooh-ooh, ah) mm-ah
Now it's Armageddon
And I woke up like a fighter
Building up a legion (ooh-ooh) and
You were rising like a star
Reigning like a king
While I was waiting in the wings
And I won't wait any longer
When you left me down, I got stronger
If you wonder 'bout the lightning
I'm on the horizon
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
Ooh (with the thunder), ooh (with the thunder)
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
Ooh (with the thunder), ooh (with the thunder)
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
Yeah-yeah
Scared that you would miss out
Scared that I would shine without you
So you held me down, down, mm
But this voice was getting loud
And it just wouldn't give in
'Cause I was made to sing, oh
And I won't wait any longer (I'll never wait)
When you left me down, I got stronger
If you wonder 'bout the lightning
I'm on the horizon
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
Ooh (with the thunder) (ooh), ooh (with the thunder) (ooh)
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
Ooh
With an empty heart, I am free again
For some things to start, some have to end (have to end)
With an empty heart (with an empty heart)
I am free again (I am free)
For some things to start, some have to end
And I won't wait any longer
When you left me down, I got stronger (yeah)
If you wonder 'bout the lightning (if wonder)
I'm on the horizon (on the horizon)
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder (with the thunder)
Ooh (with the thunder) (ooh), ooh (with the thunder) (ooh)
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder (I'm coming back)
Ooh (with the thunder), ooh (with the thunder)
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
Hmm-mm, ooh-ooh
Hmm-mm
Hmm-mm, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
