Thunder, Thunder in the Hills.
Echo long, echo harder.
On granite ridges rise up tall.
Thunder, Thunder in the Hills.

In the distance, soldiers gather.
Thunder, Thunder in the Hills.
Closer, louder, harder, faster.
Thunder, Thunder all around.

Closer, Closer, flying beasts.
Facing fear, facing fire.
Thunder, Thunder in the Hills.
Fire, Fire burning bright.

A lone rider, a winged dragon,
wings flap, tail swishes.
In command, flying fast.
Thunder,Thunder in the Hills.

The die is cast.
Flames on the ground;
devastation all around.
Thunder, Thunder in the Hills.
