Let it come
Let it come quickly
Like a bolt out of the blue
I, for one, will not live sickly
Strike me down if I do

I hear the thunder gathering in the plains
I smell the coming rain
For now, the blood is still flowing through my veins
All the same

The moon hangs lightly
In two worlds at once
As I walk along the rain-drenched streets
The stars are out now and they shine brightly
Like the nightly lovers that I meet

I hear the thunder rolling in again
I smell the summer rain
I feel the blood coursing through my veins
All the same

I’ve lived my life standing strong on my two feet
Making the most of times that will never come again
But life’s a war in which we all must face defeat
In the end

So let it come
Let it come quickly
Like a bolt out of the blue
‘Cause I, for one, will not live sickly
Strike me down if I do
Strike me down if I do
