They looked out from the 
Fortress on the hill 
There came a single warrior 
Returning from the kill 
The spoils of war hung 
From his horses mane 
The bloody heads of enemies 
That he had freshly slayed 
 
They saw the face 
The eyes so sullen 
Could only be the 
Young Cú Chullain 
 
Thunder rising 
Thunder rising 
Thunder rising 
Early in the morning 
Cities burning 
The world keeps turning 
Thunder rising 
Early in the morning 
 
The son of Lugh MacEithleen knew no fear 
For just one blow at any foe 
To tell his end was near 
So many tried to mock this Celtic son 
They taunted and they teased him till 
He slayed them one by one 
 
And so they came 
And so they`ve fallen 
at the hands of 
Young Cú Chullain 
 
Thunder rising 
Thunder rising 
Thunder rising 
Early in the morning 
Cities burning 
The world keeps turning 
Thunder rising 
Early in the morning 
 
Long ago the legend has it 
How the mighty Ulster men 
Battled with the King Of Connacht 
Fighting to the bitter end 
No one knew what foolish reason 
Caused this skirmish to begin 
Was it treachery or treason 
Or just the idle threats of drunken men? 
 
Thunder rising 
Thunder rising 
Thunder rising 
Early in the morning 
Cities burning 
The world keeps turning 
Thunder rising 
Early in the morning 
 
Thunder rising 
Thunder rising 
Thunder rising 
Early in the morning 
Young men are dying 
The widows are crying 
Thunder rising 
Early in the morning
