# The Routine Clap of Thunder **Verse 1** The routine clap of thunder, Forked lightning splits the sky. A rolling drum above us, Where restless echoes fly. The rain begins its rhythm, The wind begins to sing. The world stands still for just a while, Before the heavens ring. **Pre-Chorus** Is it written in our nature To fear the storm's embrace? Or does every flash remind us Of our humble place? **Chorus** Let the thunder call my name, Let the lightning light the way. I won't run from nature's power, I'll watch the night become the day. Every storm will have its ending, Every cloud will drift apart. Though the sky may shake above me, I will stand with an open heart. **Verse 2** The old gods crossed the heavens, Their voices filled the air. The oars of ancient longships Still seem to echo there. A battle cry remembered, A story carried on. Every storm recalls the past, Though the years are long since gone. **Chorus** Let the thunder call my name, Let the lightning light the way. I won't run from nature's power, I'll watch the night become the day. Every storm will have its ending, Every cloud will drift apart. Though the sky may shake above me, I will stand with an open heart. **Bridge** Some will dance in puddles, Some will sing with rain. Some will hide from every shadow, Some will fear the pain. I'll sit upon the old park bench, With nothing left to prove. Watching every flash above, Feeling every move. **Final Chorus** Let the thunder call my name, Let the lightning light the way. Every storm's another story, Every night becomes a day. When the silence finds the valley, And the morning paints the dawn, I'll be waiting for the encore, When the next storm comes along. **Outro** The routine clap of thunder, A sound as old as time. Nature writes its endless poem, One heartbeat, one storm, one rhyme.
