Distant Thunder Songtext

von Jon & Vangelis

DISTANT THUNDER
Why this consciousness this desire
To expand the flame of revolution
With a gothic hand of fire persecution
Blood-letting and spinning pain?

How it shouts and screams with
The sound of freedoms.
They shout it out again and again,
And with a chance
Let them do it, in justice
And practice out of hand
Do I

[All they caused] started long ago
[All they caused] started long ago
[All they caused] started long ago
[All they caused] started long ago

Why this hungry media delivering (All they caused started long ago)
Questions answers blessed forgivers
Millions of racial inequalities (All they caused started long ago) We all
Are one!
We all are sacred!

Be the birth of a nation (All they caused started long ago)
Stop this aggravation
So uninspired
Ask the question part of man's inhumanity
And lack of love to our cosmic god

Children of light,
Spread everywhere
Children of light,
Haven't you heard?
Dark are the days
In black and white
Children of light,
Don't be afraid!
Come on!

Show me sweet vision
Of to wake the beauty from the beast
Show you something light,
Show you something light.
Show me sweet vision
Of to wake the beauty from the beast
Show you something light
Show you something light Wow , wow ...

[Sure we have,] the sun will shine
Our future is our great divine
Don't lose it
Don't lose it
[Sure we have,] the sun will shine
Our future is our great divine
Don't lose it.
Don't lose it, lose it

Children of light,
Spread everywhere
Children of light,
Haven't you heard?
Dark are the days
In black and white
Children of light,
Don't be afraid,
Don't be afraid!

[interlude]

Distant as the distant thunder
Where people crawl and rent assunder
Where equal rights for equal people
Disregard for love's equality

Bringing down the backs to no-man's land
Where diamonds and gold in hand
Will barter as the homeless burn and starve
Someday will it be our turn?
Someday will it be our turn?

Children of ligh,t
Spread everywhere
Children of light,
Haven't you heard?
Dark are the days
In black and white
Children of light,
Don't be afraid,
Don't be afraid!
