From the recording War Dog The Musical
Lyrics
BOOM—CRACK!
Thunder in the sky!
BOOM—SNAP!
Hear the battle cry!
BOOM—BARK!
No time to run or hide—
Side by side we fight or die!
there’s grit in my teeth a fire in my chest
there’s a storm rolling in—we don’t get to rest
my rifle shakes and the ground's alive
but my right-hand man is with me—we’ll survive!
i watch his eyes and he never flinches
off we go—through the wire through the trenches
he’s a blur of fur and a fearless will
they are trained to charge and they're trained to kill
RUN! BITE! Hold the line!
Sniff the fear—and find the mines!
TRACK! GUARD! Leap into the fight!
Our hearts beat loud—like thunder in the sky!
BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!
It sounds like thunder in the sky!
BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!
There’s no time to wonder why!
BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!
The world could fall tonight—
But we won’t break—
We rise and fight!
i used to dream this was game and glory
but now i’m just a heartbeat in the story
the night explodes and the earth will burn
but from these flames we’ll rise—we’ll learn
i don’t ask why i’ll only go
where my handler leads i will follow
in this dark i’ll light the way
just to bring us home—one day
there is steel and storm around our heads
but my paws are heartbreak tread with dread
there’s a link a bond that doesn’t die
we will charge beneath the thunder in the sky!
BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!
It’s thunder in the sky!
BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!
Still we run—we don’t ask why!
BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!
Through the fire hear our cry—
We are brave we bleed we fly!
With thunder thunder in the sky!
When the storm has passed us by…
We’ll still be standing…
Thunder… in the sky…
