[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
