       Em
I'll bring you the head of the demon
I'm peeling the skin from his face
The life that you lead is inhuman
Its cause and effects a disgrace

Em                 C          G              Am B
You're sowing the seeds of a nightmare from Hell
C                      G          D          D#m
Your prayers and your demons are tolling the bell

Chorus:
Em
Walking through fire, fate's in my hands
 C           Am             Em
Waiting for lightning to strike
Em
Man on a wire, bearing the brand
 C           Am             F
Waiting for lightning to strike (Strike, strike)
                Em
Lightning to strike

Twisted dreams that are born from delusion
The collusion of fear and torment
Decimating to stem this contusion
With a power-mad freaking intent

You're sowing the seeds of a nightmare from Hell
Your prayers and your demons lie dead where they fell

Chorus:
Walking through fire, fate's in my hands
Waiting for lightning to strike
Man on a wire, bearing the brand
Waiting for lightning to strike (Strike, strike)
Lightning to strike

B
I'll spin the world around reeling
I have to when mankind's at stake
I might be left broken and bleeding
                                   D
For it's all in the fight that we make

You're sowing the seeds of a nightmare from Hell
Your prayers and your demons still tolling the bell

Chorus:
Walking through fire, fate's in my hands
Waiting for lightning to strike
Man on a wire, bearing the brand
Waiting for lightning to strike (Strike, strike)
Lightning to strike

Lightning will strike!
