[Verse 1]

He was a knight, a lion, a serpent

He was a traitor, a hunter indeed

He came to might, to fire infernal

He prayed hallelujah

Baptize the child, the saint, and the sinner

Forgive the murder, the slayer deceased

Confess no crime, all sins are forgiven

Just pray hallelujah

[Pre-Chorus]

He brought damnation, infection, and grief

Devoured sisters of faith and belief

A beast of man, a destroyer, a phantom, a thief

[Chorus]

He was the thunderpriest, thunderpriest

Nightmare in form of a plundering beast

Thunderpriest, thunderpriest

Sent from the heavens to kill

[Verse 2]

He was a wolf, a bastard, and outlaw

He was a dragon, a danger indeed

He came by night to haunt his admirers

No more hallelujah

Without a right, with none but his sermon

Forsaken all that he once had believed

He justified his slaughter eternal

Invert hallelujah

[Pre-Chorus]

He was a ghost, with the dark he was bound

A captivator, a striker, a hound

A beast of a man and at night he was burned to the ground

[Chorus]

He was the thunderpriest, thunderpriest

Nightmare in form of a plundering beast

Thunderpriest, thunderpriest

Sent from the heavens to kill

[Post-Chorus]

Run, this nightmare is undone, the fire has begun

The legend of the thunderpriest

Run, the sermon of the gun, the Father and the Son

All sancted by the thunderpriest

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Guided by the thunderpriest

Sancted by the thunderpriest

Guided by the Holy Bible of the beast

Guided by the thunderpriest

Sancted by the thunderpriest

Guided by the Holy Bible of the beast

[Chorus]

Beware the thunderpriest, thunderpriest

Once banned and cursed, he was never released

Thunderpriest, thunderpriest

Banned from the heavens and killed
