I will post the video as soon as it is available. The song turned out fantastic. 

 

 

[pre-chorus] That flash that stuns your eyes makes you hold your breath shiver to your toes ruins your rest [chorus] Thats me, I bring the lightning, I can start the fire burning brightly things can go on for hours [verse 1] I learned a long time ago how to set match to the tinder and make things all aglow dancing crackling cinder It takes intention and focus and knowing where to touch and breathing on the embers' glow to bring it all alive [instrumental interlude] [verse 2] Flame bursts out it jumps so high crackling popping with the sap once it starts to really burn there is no going back So don't play with this match I am not to be trifled with I can bring the lightning the flame and then your life will never again be the same [pre-chorus] That flash that stuns your eyes makes you hold your breath shiver to your toes ruins your rest [chorus] Thats me, I bring the lightning, I can start the fire burning brightly things can go on for hours [outro] That flame leaves nothing untouched the ground, the structures, the plants its all gone up in smoke if you give it half a chance so don't play with fire don't call in the lightning the snap and bright will bring a fright and the burn be quite enlightening Those that have seen the flame are never the same again I bring the fire I bring the lightning and I seldom strike twice for anyone [music fades] [end]
