• Roll of thunder hear my cry,
    Hear my voices by and by,
    Let the rain pour down my face,
    Let the sun leave without a trace,
    Down I walk and down the path,
    Full of anger, full of wrath.

    They scream in terror and in fear,
    I see the gate for it is near,
    Roll of thunder, hear my cry,
    Open the gate survive, survive,
    It opens slowly long and long,
    I open my mouth to sing my song.

    I sing about the wonders why,
    Of roll of thunder, hear my cry,
    I scream aloud good-bye, good-bye,
    I never had to ask just why,
    This is the path they chose me to go,
    It may be wrong, you never know.

    The gate is death and I am dead,
    All I saw was blood dark red,
    I hope to never see that gore,
    I want to fly, I want to sore!
    Roll of thunder, hear my cry,
    Hear my voices by and by.
