[intro] [1] [verse] (BPM 180) Thunder rolls in a sky of gray No warning for the coming day The air grows thick with silent dread A shadow hangs above my head [chorus] A bolt from the blue, a flash of white Burning out the fading light A sudden shock, a blinding pain Washing over like a freezing rain A bolt from the blue, a crushing blow Nowhere to run and nowhere to go From the clear sky, a blinding light Struck down in the endless night [2] [verse] The ground it shakes, the pillars crack No turning back from this attack A silent scream that no one hears Drowning in a sea of fears My world of hope, now torn apart A broken song, a heavy heart [chorus] A bolt from the blue, a flash of white Burning out the fading light A sudden shock, a blinding pain Washing over like a freezing rain A bolt from the blue, a crushing blow Nowhere to run and nowhere to go From the clear sky, a blinding light Struck down in the endless night [guitar solo] (Intense, melodic, fast-paced, full of sweeping arpeggios and tapping) [bridge] (Tempo slows to 100 BPM, powerful and melodic) I will rise, from the ashes of the flame I will call out, I will shout your name The scars will heal, the wounds will close This is how a true warrior grows [chorus] (Tempo back to 180 BPM, with even more power and intensity) A bolt from the blue, a flash of white Burning out the fading light A sudden shock, a blinding pain Washing over like a freezing rain A bolt from the blue, a crushing blow Nowhere to run and nowhere to go From the clear sky, a blinding light Struck down in the endless night [outro] (Guitar riff fades out with heavy power chords) Struck down… In the endless night… A bolt from the blue… (End)
