Black Lightning

I woke to hear you calling
 Black lightning
 Oh Momma you'd best quit talking
 Black lightning
 You say it's gonna take me?
 You say it's gonna take me right?
 You say it's gonna take me
 But Momma I feel like I'm already gone
 There ain't no thunder
 There ain't no rain
 The wicked moon is hiding
 Outside the birds are flocking
 Outside the beasts are talking
 Something is changing
 Black lightning
 Great God Almighty
 Black lightning
 Lord Jesus save me
 The broken clock is ticking over the bed
 You cannot kill what is not already dead
 Smash! Smash! Burn! Smash! Smash! Burn!
 There ain't no thunder
 There ain't no rain
 The wicked moon is hiding
 Outside the birds are flocking
 Outside the beasts are talking
 Something is changing
 Yeah I look at the dirt and see the past rising up
 Lord forgive us the trees were bare when the river flooded
 We were trapped for six weeks with no food or water
 And I lost my faith that night brother dug up Father's bones and lit 'em on fire
 "Praise Jesus!" He shouted
 But I could not
 My mouth was stitched shut by cold talons of flame
 Yeah I know it was wrong but I went ahead and inhaled the sulfur anyway
 You see when you're born in the country
 Your path is lit by black lightning
 There ain't no thunder
 There ain't no rain
 The wicked moon is hiding
 Outside the birds are flocking
 Outside the beasts are talking
 Something is changing
 Black lightning
 Great God Almighty
 Black lightning
 Lord Jesus save me
 I need you to destroy these thoughts in my head
 Feed my a poisoned slice of spiritual bread
 Smash! Smash! Burn! Smash! Smash! Burn!
 There ain't no thunder
 There ain't no rain
 The wicked moon is hiding
 Outside the birds are flocking
 Outside the beasts are talking
 Something is changing
 Black lightning
