Bolt of lightning

Lost you

To the pain inside your head

Fought so hard

The fear of going mad

Wherever you go

Everything is wrong

You feel weak

While you think of me

As strong


I see panic

Deep within your eyes

Your naivety

Ignoring all those lies

Things I've said

And deeds I've done

I could just as well have

Handed you the gun


I wanna split your head open

With a bolt of lightning

Erase your memory

Take away what's frightening

I wanna

I wanna

I wanna split your head open

With a bolt of lightning


Reach out

Through the darkness and the void

Take my hand

I must

Demand of you

Turn around

Look at what you've got

Love was hurt

But this time I am true


Don't let

Fallen heroes lead you so astray

Join the ring

The fight is not yet lost

Please take

All the bruises and the blows

Let me help

I'll cover all your costs


I wanna split your head open

With a bolt of lightning

Erase your memory

Take away what's frightening

I wanna

I wanna

I wanna split your head open

With a bolt of lightning


Lightning

Follows thunder

Rips the sky

Tears it asunder

Lighting

Leaves no trace

Just open space

Lightning

Follows thunder


I wanna split your head open

With a bolt of lightning

Erase your memory

Take away what's frightening

I wanna


I wanna

I wanna split your head open

With a bolt of lightning


Francis O'Neal: I wrote the lyrics from personal experience. (Pauses.) They are about one of the darkest times in my life.

Jean Christopher: The song itself is quite uplifting. A hint of darkness in the happiness.

Francis O'Neal: That's so typical of us.

Jean Christopher: Yeah, that's true. (Laughs.)
