close my eyes and fall to sleep beneath the sky

in the stillness of my dreams i will confide

everyday i'm loosing faith to carry on

But the instinct of a man is much too strong



we are pawns of the games

making history

and the sound makes you crumble

to your knees



chorus:

why does it have to be

that everything i see

is tearing up my soul

let the thunder reside



the ringing in my ears

awakens all my fears

nowhere left to hide

let the thunder reside



i awake with hopes the game had reached an end

no more hurting of a world on which we depend

yes, we know the truth can hurt us so we're blind

but does the justice have the right to be unkind?



chorus



there's a reason to live

there's a reason to die

there's a reason for change

let the thunder fade away into

forgotten yesterday

let the silence bring us peace for

which we pray

the time has come to make

another start

and to answer all the questions in my heart



chorus



there's a reason to live

there's a reason to die

there's a reason to give

let the thunder reside
