Comin' out of nowhere Drivin' like rain Stormbringer dance On the thunder again Dark cloud gathering Breaking the day No point running 'Cause it's coming your way Ride the rainbow Crack the sky Stormbringer coming Time to die Got to keep running Stormbringer coming He's got nothing you need He's gonna make you bleed Rainbow shaker On a stallion twister Bareback rider On the eye of the sky Stormbringer coming down Meaning to stay Thunder and lightning Heading your way Ride the rainbow Crack the sky Stormbringer coming Time to die Got to keep running Stormbringer coming He's got nothing you need He's gonna make you bleed Coming out of nowhere Drivin' like a-rain Stormbringer dance On the thunder again Dark cloud gathering Breaking the day No point running 'Cause it's coming your way
