Background[]

"Lights and Thunder" was White Lion's longest song, from 1991–2008, a eight-minute heavy rock epic with a complex structure inspired by Led Zeppelin’s Achilles Last Stand.[2] In 2008, "Sangre de Cristo", from Return of the Pride became the bands longest song, with a length of eight minutes and forty-four seconds. The song was one of many songs from the band that addressed social or political issues.[3]

In 2005 for the White Lion live album "Rocking the USA" a music video was made for the live version of the song which features on the White Lion DVD Bang Your Head Festival 2005.[4] [5]
