In the beginning, in the beginning
there was a bolt of lightning
across the heavens so they say
and while you stood there staring, that bolt of lightning
that struck you down before me
That bolt of lightning that struck you down before me
It struck you down
Now I walk through the valley of the damned
and I will raise my hand when I walk
Through the valley of the damned
Here comes the next one, always a next one
You stare at the reflection
of a reflection so they say
Listen in the distance, the second coming
with every sound of thunder
the second coming with every sound of thunder
now every sound of thunder
Makes you walk through the valley of the damned
and I will raise my hand when I walk
Through the valley of the damned
and I will raise my hand when it comes my way
and I will bite the hand when it comes my way
and i will bite the hand, I will fight my way
I will feel the same
I still feel the same
we all feel the same
and I still feel the same as I did in the beginning
When I walked through the valley of the damned
and I will raise my hand when I walk
Through the valley of the damned
