Black Lightning Lyrics

I woke to hear you calling
Black lightning
Oh Momma you'd best quit talking
Black lightning
You say it's gonna take me?
You say it's gonna take me right?
You say it's gonna take me
But Momma I feel like I'm already gone

There ain't no thunder
There ain't no rain
The wicked moon is hiding
Outside the birds are flocking
Outside the beasts are talking
Something is changing
Black lightning
Great God Almighty
Black lightning
Lord Jesus save me
The broken clock is ticking over the bed
You cannot kill what is not already dead
Smash! Smash! Burn! Smash! Smash! Burn!

There ain't no thunder
There ain't no rain
The wicked moon is hiding
Outside the birds are flocking
Outside the beasts are talking
Something is changing

Yeah I look at the dirt and see the past rising up
Lord forgive us the trees were bare when the river flooded
We were trapped for six weeks with no food or water And I lost my faith that night brother dug up Father's bones and lit 'em on fire
"Praise Jesus!” He shouted
But I could not
My mouth was stitched shut by cold talons of flame
Yeah I know it was wrong but I went ahead and inhaled the sulfur anyway
You see when you're born in the country
Your path is lit by black lightning
There ain't no thunder
There ain't no rain
The wicked moon is hiding
Outside the birds are flocking
Outside the beasts are talking
Something is changing

Black lightning
Great God Almighty
Black lightning
Lord Jesus save me
I need you to destroy these thoughts in my head
Feed my a poisoned slice of spiritual bread
Smash! Smash! Burn! Smash! Smash! Burn!

There ain't no thunder
There ain't no rain
The wicked moon is hiding
Outside the birds are flocking
Outside the beasts are talking
Something is changing
Black lightning
