Thunder Child..(RasMix)

[Verse 1] The shore is packed with fear Hands up in the spray Mothers clutch the railings Children pushed away Smoke on the waterlines A steamer strains and cries London backs to the sea With the ruin in its eyes [Pre-Chorus] Then the black legs rise From the breaking foam Three giants cut the lane And seal us all at home [Chorus] Thunder Child, thunder child Take the blow, hold the line Thunder Child, thunder child Save the boats this one last time (Thunder Child) (Thunder Child) [Verse 2] The ironclad swings out From the mouth of the bay Steel face to the monster No room left to pray Her guns spit white fire Her hull leans hard and low She drives straight for the giant As the screaming wind does blow [Pre-Chorus] Risers in the smoke Then the final shove A sheet of orange bloom And the sea turns up above [Chorus] Thunder Child, thunder child Take the blow, hold the line Thunder Child, thunder child Save the boats this one last time (Thunder Child) (Thunder Child) [Bridge] One falls in a furnace One staggers in the glare But the answer comes fast Like death laid bare A red beam cuts the deck Through oak and iron skin The proud ship burns bright While the refugees run in [Final Chorus] Thunder Child, thunder child In the flame, in the roar Thunder Child, thunder child You bought us one breath more (Thunder Child) (Thunder Child)
