Every morning I wake up, and I switch the TV on

I like to watch the world go by from the safety of my home

News is looking bad today, like it always seems to be

I can't believe I'm so unmoved by the violence that I see



It's a fact of life, but I can't cry anymore, 'cos it happens all the time



Chorus:

I hear the sound of distant thunder, it's coming closer every day

Soon there'll be lightning crashing to the ground

Feels like the end's not far away



As we race towards the future, we're not learning from the past

In the minefields of excess, you can hear the devil laugh

He can see what's going on, 'cos he knows the signs so well

It won't be long before we meet, on the road that leads to hell



In the wink of an eye, a hundred years will pass

So there's no time left to lie



chorus



(Solo)



In the wink of an eye, a hundred years will pass

So there's no time left to lie



chorus



It feels like the end's not far away



I can hear the sound of distant thunder, it's coming closer every day

I can feel it, can you feel it

I can hear the sound, the sound of distant thunder

I can feel it, can you feel it

I can feel it, I can feel that thunder crashing down
