William Blake
For a Voice Like Thunder
[Intro: Nick Holmes]
O, for a voice like thunder and a tongue to drown the throat of war

When the senses are shaken, and the soul is driven to madness
Who can stand?

When the souls of the oppressed fight in the air that rages
Who can stand?

When the whirlwind of fury comes from the throne of God
When the frowns of His countenance drive the nations together
Who can stand?
Who has caused this?

[Chorus: Sakis Tolis & Nick Holmes]
O, for a voice like thunder, and a tongue to drown the throat of war!
When the senses are shaken, and the soul is driven to madness
Who can stand?

[Verse 1: Nick Holmes]
When the souls of the oppressed fight in the air that rages
Who can stand?
When the whirlwind of fury comes from the throne of God
When the frowns of His countenance drive the nations together

[Verse 2: Nick Holmes]
When sin claps his broad wings over the battle, and sails rejoicing in the flood of death
When souls are torn to everlasting fire, and fiends of hell rejoice upon the slain
[Bridge: Sakis Tolis & Nick Holmes]
Who has caused this?
Who can stand?
Who can answer at the throne of God?

The kings and nobles of the land have done it!
Hear it not, Heaven!
Thy ministers have done it!
The kings of the land have done it!

[Chorus: Nick Holmes]
O, for a voice like thunder, and a tongue to drown the throat of war
When the senses are shaken, and the soul is driven to madness
Who can stand?

[Post-Chorus: Sakis Tolis]
Who has caused this?...

[Outro: Sakis Tolis]
The kings and nobles of the land have done it
Hear it not, Heaven
Thy ministers have done it
The kings of the land have done it
