Gary Moore: Thunder Rising Leadsheet: M. Nijs Intro: | :|| Riff ( 5 maten tot aan zang) Couplet 1: They looked out from the Fortress on the hill There came a single warrior Returning from the kill The spoils of war hung From his horses mane The bloody heads of enemies That he had freshly slayed They saw the face The eyes so sullen Could only be the Young C. Chullain Refrein: Thunder rising Thunder rising Thunder rising Early in the morning Cities burning The world keeps turning Thunder rising Early in the morning Couplet 2: The son of Lugh MacEithleen knew no fear For just one blow at any foe To tell his end was near So many tried to mock this Celtic son They taunted and they teased him till He slayed them one by one And so they came And so they’ve fallen at the hands of Young C. Chullain Refrein: Interlude: |A5|  4 maten Couplet 3: Long ago the legend has it How the mighty Ulster men Battled with the King Of Connacht Fighting to the bitter end No one knew what foolish reason Caused this skirmish to begin Was it treachery or treason Or just the idle threats of drunken men?

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un valeureux guerrier qui revient des champs de bataille, portant avec lui les trophées de ses combats. Son regard grave témoigne des épreuves qu'il a traversées. Ce jeune homme, nommé C. Chullain, fait preuve d'un courage exceptionnel, affrontant ses ennemis sans aucune crainte et les vainquant un à un, malgré les moqueries qui l'entourent. Au cœur des conflits entre les guerriers d'Ulster et le roi de Connacht, la chanson évoque une légende ancienne, marquée par des luttes acharnées, mais dont la raison initiale reste obscure, que ce soit par trahison ou tout simplement les querelles de buveurs. C'est un hymne à la bravoure et à l'esprit combatif d'un héros face aux défis sanglants de la guerre.
