The Thunderbolt Riders

Note: This song is a parody of 'Eye of the Tiger', the theme song from Rocky III. It was originally performed by Survivor, I believe. Let credit for the original be given where it's due!)

The Thunderbolt Riders
Rising up, back in the skies;
Do our time, take our chances.
Go the distance--now we'll fight for our lives,
Just ourselves and our wills to survive.

So many times, it happens too fast:
You trade your caution for glory.
Don't lose your grip on lessons of the past;
When you fight, they will keep you alive.

Chorus:
We're the Thunderbolt riders, and we thrill to the fight,
Rising up to the challenge with our fire.
Down to the last survivor, we'll still flame through the night,
And we'll help keep Pern safe as the Thunderbolt riders.

Wing to wing, out in the air,
Keeping watch--Threads are hungry.
Fall stacks the odds; still, we'll always be there
For the kill; we've the skill to survive!

(Chorus)

Rising up, straight to the top;
We have guts; we'll have glory!
Went the distance, and we're not going to stop--
We're riders with a will to survive!

(Chorus)

The Thunderbolt riders.
The Thunderbolt riders.
The Thunderbolt riders.
