When you first read the lyrics, “Lightning Strikes Twice” seems to be a song about an approaching thunderstorm, and the music does justice to this concept with its slow and quiet start which soon bursts into powerful guitar chords for the verses and choruses.

Lightning Strikes Twice Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I feel the breeze on my face in expectance
Not very long before the storm reaches here
Off in the distance, the lightning is flashing again
Feel something strong as the power draws near
Is it the rolling of thunder that scares you?
Is it the crashing of clouds that hold fear?
But all I know, as I sit in a corner alone
It takes me back to my childhood again
[Verse 2]
And as I wait, and I look for an answer
To all the things going round in my head
I ask myself: could it be a disaster and when
It's maybe threatening to happen again?
[Verse 3]
As the ominous light draws near
There's a lone dog, howls in the park
All the people hurry inside
As a lightning flash lights dark
The storm is nearly here
[Pre-Chorus]
Only God will know
[Verse 4]
You're sitting alone, you watch
As the wind's blowing treetops
And the swaying rustling of leaves
Plenty of time to perceive
As you wait for rain to fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Only God knows
The whole sky glows
[Chorus]
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
[Guitar Solos]
[Pre-Chorus]
Only God knows
The whole sky glows
[Chorus]
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice

What did Iron Maiden say about "Lightning Strikes Twice"?
This started as an initial idea of Davey’s and we just picked it up from there and worked it into a complete song together. I wrote the lyrics after coming up with the words for the chorus during the arranging of the music with Dave. He liked the idea of the title so I wrote the lyrics around that.
