Blood and Thunder

Life was ever the struggle

Since crawling from the primordial ooze

At every turn they met resistance

So they learned to sing the blues

The hangman's ever waiting

And the dungeon's down under

There's no need to ponder wonder

Give the people blood and thunder

It's a tale half believed true

Though grander than poor you

A hero makes a journey into the uncertain

Yawn nothing new

But the fights, the thrills, the danger

And the arms of a maiden fair

And the twists and turns grow stranger

Until suddenly you're there

The hangman's ever waiting

And the dungeon's down under

There's no need to ponder wonder

Give the people blood and thunder

Give the people blood and thunder

Give the people blood and thunder

Hunger and cruelty many know too well

So of those things there's no need to tell

A slice of paradise we barter sell

A brief reprieve from your hell

The hangman's ever waiting

And the dungeon's down under

There's no need to ponder wonder

Give the people blood and thunder

Give the people blood and thunder

La la, la la, give the people blood and thunder

La la, la la, give the people blood and thunder
