The darkest hour, the hopeless time Is always before the rise of the dawn Find your courage to stand against a stream The fairest they speak when the falsest they think When mouths of men speak the words of gods The truth will never be enough for anyone When you reach the peak of the highest mountain Proudly plant the flag of the heathen defiance When mouths of men speak the words of gods The truth will never be enough for anyone When you reach the peak of the highest mountain Proudly plant the flag of the heathen defiance Wielded lashes, pyres aflame, gloomy gallows Tormented ones, brave and free Screams echo in time Not one unjust deed goes unpunished No blood is shed in vain under the reborn thunder sign I know we will Claim the throne and kill They asked for war so we will give them one The one to end it all Reckoning with blood Stop the madness that's gone on for centuries From the ashes of the ancient blood and wisdom The children of thunder will rise again From the ashes of the ancient blood and wisdom The children of thunder will rise again In a storm of obloquy, my sons stand strong Marshall the forces, gather up weapons for the last war to come Who is so righteous, uncorrupted to condemn and dominate With truth and not with illusions Not driven by the greed to be enthroned and rule? Havoc no more The reign of man From the ashes of the ancient blood and wisdom The children of thunder will rise again From the ashes of the ancient blood and wisdom The children of thunder will rise again When mouths of men speak the words of gods The truth will never be enough for anyone When you reach the peak of the highest mountain Proudly plant the flag of the heathen defiance
