The Lightning Strikes at midnight,
The sparks fly through the cold dark sky,
igniting the warmth in oposition to the harsh winter rains.
The Lightning Strikes at midnight
It sends the powerful shock and zap through the countryside,
observers take flight for cover in the low ground,
The rain bogs down the road,
disolving all on this soggy night.
Stars that once shone, twinkle no more
The clouds are death tonight,
The moon cannot rise on this night,
for the lightning strikes at midnight.
The Howl of the wolves cannot be heard on this dark night
The thunder booms and the plants can no longer croon.
The sheep move away from this fearsome sight, on this terrible, rainy, stormy night, why? Becuase the lightning strikes at midnight.
The flash never conceals the blackness, it wraps the darkness away
The clear skies are but a memory to all who suffer
The lightning strikes deep, becuase it will strike tonight.
The cove in the lagoon will get batter and bruised,
lash apon lash hits the churned waters
The urning for a round circulmous moon will go in spit, tonight,
The storm will never cease, the night will not end, for the lightning strikes
tonight.
The last breath you take before being blinded by light, is of the pounding nothern winds,
the seabreeze is unfriendly, but welcome compared to the horrer,
One blast on thunder, a burst of hail,
Then silence on the coastal waters,
all is calm, but not a soul is present,
the gulp of air sucked it all away,
for the midnight chimes and the tempest swirs up again in a never ending abysis
Goodnight as I sleep while the lightning strikes at midnight (wispers, then sobs, then smiles, then nothing left).
