ZAP!
Lightning strikes all at a time
A colorful show, but completely destructive
What a miraculous sight.

Lightning strikes all at a time
Electric shocks, at least 10,000 volts
What a miraculous sight
Only to see once in a lifetime

Electric Shocks, at least 10,000 volts
A one hit kill to anyone
Only to see once in a lifetime
The show is almost over.

A one hit kill to anyone
A colorful show, but completely destructive
The show is almost over
ZAP!
