Jim St. James

Lyrics

IT'S BEEN SEVEN YEARS NOW SINCE I FOUGHT THE RAGING FOE
THAT RAISED IT'S HEAD AND CAME ON IT TO TAKE AWAY MY SOUL
IT WAS MEAN AND IT WAS UGLY, WAS SLIPPIN' INTO NIGHT
I PRAYED THE LORD WOULD KEEP ME, MY CHILD AND MY WIFE SAFE FROM THE STORM

LOUDER THAN A FREIGHT TRAIN, THUNDERING AT IT'S CORE
IT BROKE THE LOCK THAT HEAVEN PLACED, OPENING HELL'S DOOR
IT WAS DEEPER THAN AN OCEAN AND BLACKER THAN THE NIGHT
TORE ITS WAY RIGHT THROUGH US AND EVERYTHING IN SITE OF THE STORM

LAUGHTER FROM THE DEVIL AND RAIN AS COLD AS ICE
HANGING LIKE A MONKEY ON THE BACK OF LIFE
POUNDING OUT NO MERCY AND BLIND WITHOUT A SOUL
THUNDER FELL THE MOUNTAINS AS LIGHTING CRACKED THE ROAD
THE STORM CLOUDS TOOK CONTROL
THEN TWISTERS STARTING TWISTIN' AND THE EARTH FELL IN THE HOLE OF THE STORM

SEVEN HOODED HORSEMEN WITH SEVEN SILVER GUNS
ROARED OUT FROM A FIRE HOTTER THAN THE SUN
THREE TEAMS OF TWO DARK RIDERS
BEHIND THEIR CHOSEN ONE
WHO WORE A TARNISHED BREAST PLATE
AND BEAT UPON A DRUM THAT STEERED THE STORM

LAUGHTER FROM THE DEVIL AND RAIN AS COLD AS ICE
HANGING LIKE A MONKEY ON THE BACK OF LIFE
POUNDING OUT NO MERCY AND BLIND WITHOUT A SOUL
THUNDER FELL THE MOUNTAINS AS LIGHTING CRACKED THE ROAD
THE STORM CLOUDS TOOK CONTROL
THEN TWISTERS STARTING TWISTIN' AND THE EARTH FELL IN THE HOLE OF THE STORM

OFF ON THE HORIZON WAS SOMETHIN'
THEY FORGOT, BUT THE DEVIL KNOWS NO LOGIC SO HE TOOK ANOTHER SHOT
THEN AN ARMY OF WHITE ANGELS ALL BLOWING GOLDEN HORNS
CAST LIGHT UPON THE DARKNESS AND BURNED AWAY THE EYE OF THE STORM

LAUGHTER FROM THE DEVIL AND RAIN AS COLD AS ICE
HANGING LIKE A MONKEY ON THE BACK OF LIFE
POUNDING OUT NO MERCY AND BLIND WITHOUT A SOUL
THUNDER FELL THE MOUNTAINS AS LIGHTING CRACKED THE ROAD
THE STORM CLOUDS TOOK CONTROL
THEN TWISTERS STARTING TWISTIN' AND THE STORM FELL IN THE HOLE DOWN BELOW
