LUCYFIRE LYRICS

1. Black Gold

My god is killing your god and it looks good on TV
In night vision they declare our absolute decree
On the 42 inch plasma screen; I watch the tears of Jesus
Crying “Our gods are dead and hacked into pieces"
A choir of ---- fills the temple hall
---- is pale and blood is dripping from the walls
It's the equinox of horror, it's everything I've seen
Then yet the blood ---- survive it on my screen

You're the black gold, you're the gasoline
You're the car at the launching, with fire in between
You're the (ha ha ha ha) the hammer of the gods
The perimeter is sealed and now the savages are healed by blood
You're the black gold, you're the black gold, c'mon
(It's raining black gold from heaven)
You're the black gold, you're the black gold, c'mon, c'mon now
(It's raining black gold from heaven)

Give arms to the pacifists and alms to the poor
Let the evil in the house and kick the good out through the door
Let the tenderloin steak soak in virgin table salt
And may the killing of the innocent be killing for a cause!
And may the red with white ----
And may we lay down as a dog and let 'em tell you what to do
And may we get away with murder, every now and then
And may the smart bombs never fall on little children

You're the black gold, you're the gasoline
You're the car at the launching, with fire in between
You're the (ha ha ha ha) the hammer of the gods
The perimeter is sealed and now the savages are healed by blood
You're the black gold, you're the black gold c'mon
(It's raining black gold from heaven)
You're the black gold, you're the black gold c'mon, c'mon now
(It's raining black gold from heaven)
(Ha ha ha ha)

(Ha ha ha ha)
(It's raining black gold from heaven)

You're the black gold, you're the gasoline
You're the car at the launching, the fire in between
You're the stench of napalm, the drugs that keep us calm
You're the (ha ha ha ha) the hammer of the gods

You're the black gold, you're the black gold c'mon
(It's raining black gold from heaven)

2. Thunder And Lightning

Your blood is cold as ice in the summer
And you're steaming hot in the winter
Live your life and die for next ----
And you are so much like me

You hide away
From the light
And that's how it begins.

Forget the sunshine for a while
And dance with me into the night

Celebrate the thunder and lightning
Raise your glasses high to the thunder and lightning
Thank god for the thunder and lightning
Celebrate tonight

And our smoke is going down
And snow is falling outside
Through laser stroboscopes
And I see your face in there

You hide away from the light
And that's how it begins
Forget the sunshine for a while
And dance with me into the night

Celebrate the thunder and lightning
Raise your glasses high to the thunder and lightning
Thank god for the thunder and lightning
Celebrate tonight

Through rain and stormy weather
With black boots of leather
You're the flame, you're the fire
Fully equipped with dark desires

Hide away from the light
Now that's how it begins
Forget the sunshine for a while
And dance with me into the night

Celebrate the thunder and lightning
Raise your glasses high to the thunder and lightning
Thank god for the thunder and lightning
Celebrate tonight

The rain the dust the dirt the dark
and the thunder and lightning
To the south and the north and the east and the west
for the thunder and lightning

Thank god for the flood
and the daughters in the blood
and for the thunder and lightning

Celebrate tonight
