[Intro]
\n(God) Thunder Gods!<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nHas it really come to this…
\nMother Nature’s pissed
\nShe puts out the call
\nTo all:<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThunder Gods,
\nHumanity’s at odds!<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLet your thunder bolt (jolt!)
\nSet the world on fire (take it higher)
\nThe wonder (of rolling thunder)
\nTime they’re told it’s dire (Fire, fire!)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\n(God) Thunder Gods!<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nWould you look at where we are
\nDo you find it bizarre
\nWe’ve taken things to far
\nCausing harm (sound the alarm!)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThunder Gods,
\nHumanity’s at odds!<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLet your thunder bolt (jolt!)
\nSet the world on fire (take it higher)
\nThe wonder (of rolling thunder)
\nTime they’re told it’s dire (Fire, fire!)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nThunder Gods,
\nAgainst the odds!
\n(Oh, my god!)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nAcross many mythologies, thunder is a symbol of divine power, often tied to the sky, storms, and lightning. Thunder gods are typically seen as mighty, commanding, and sometimes fearsome figures.<\/p>\n

In Indo-European traditions, the thunder god is often the ruler of the pantheon\u2014such as Indra in Hinduism, Zeus in Greek mythology, Perun in Slavic lore, and Thor in Norse tales. In ancient Egypt, Set (or Seth) embodied storms and chaos, while Illapa, the Inca god of thunder, was a warrior spirit of the mountains. In Japan, Raijin created thunder and lightning by striking drums, a fierce presence in the skies.<\/p>\n

This song channels the fury of these gods as a metaphor for Mother Nature\u2019s growing wrath in response to humanity\u2019s reckless destruction of the planet. The storm is no longer just myth\u2014it’s here, and it’s real.<\/p>\n

From the album “Tumultuous Times<\/a>“<\/h3>\n
