[Verse 1] In the halls of ancient Rome, Jupiter ruled the sky Seven days they gave us, planets wheeling high But the Germanic tribes had gods of their own When empires collided, new seeds were sown Dies Iovis was the name, but it wouldn't stay the same When the red-bearded thunder god came... [Pre-Chorus] From Proto-Germanic tongues of old Thonaras daga, the story's told Through Grimm's Law the sounds would shift Thursday - the thunder god's eternal gift! [Chorus] THOR! THOR! WIELDING MEYOLL-NEER HIGH! THOR! THOR! LIGHTNING SPLITS THE SKY! Every Thursday when you speak his name The thunder god lives on in linguistic flame! INTERPRETATIO GERMANICA! (Thunder's day! Thunder's day!) [Verse 2] A thousand hammer pendants in the burial ground While Odin took the warriors, Thor protected the common crowd Farmers, workers, women too - they wore his sign with pride When Boniface cut down his oak, something in them died But the word survived the Christian tide Too deep in daily life to be denied! [Pre-Chorus] Old English Þunresdæg became our Thursday now The thorn became a "th" but Thor's still in the sound Fifteen hundred years can't break the chain From Bronze Age gods to modern tongues - his power remains! [Chorus] THOR! THOR! WIELDING MEYOLL-NEER HIGH! THOR! THOR! LIGHTNING SPLITS THE SKY! Every Thursday when you speak his name The thunder god lives on in linguistic flame! "Portuguese tried to kill the gods with numbers - quinta-feira! The Slavs went fourth - chetverg! The Irish fasted between their fasts - Déardaoin! But from Stockholm to Berlin, from London to Amsterdam... THOR REMAINS!" [Guitar Solo - Neoclassical shredding] [Verse 3] The molds could cast both cross and hammer, side by side The old gods and the new god, in metal they'd collide But language is the deepest magic, stronger than any creed When you say "Thursday" you're invoking what the thunder god decreed! [Final Chorus] THOR! THOR! THE WORKING MAN'S DIVINE! THOR! THOR! THROUGH ETYMOLOGY'S DESIGN! Donnerstag! Torsdag! Thursday's mighty call! The most forgotten god who's remembered most of all! RED BEARD! IRON GLOVES! GOAT-DRAWN CHARIOT RIDES! PROTECTOR OF MIDGARD! WHERE ANCIENT POWER HIDES! IN EVERY THURSDAY MORNING, IN EVERY WEEKLY PLAN THE THUNDER GOD'S IMMORTAL IN THE TONGUES OF MODERN MAN! [Outro] So raise your hammers high (high... high...) For the god who'll never die (die... die...) Not in temples, not in prayer But in the words we speak... everywhere... Thursday... Thursday... THURSDAY!
