Pompeii
The lost souls around the broken town
There was hardly any sound
There was another rumble in the distance
The panic settled in again and there was no resistance
As I closed my eyes another part of shock sunk in
The mountain erupted again.
Darker than night, the cloud came over us
Sooner than dawn we would all fall and be dust
Those walls kept tumbling down
In this town we loved.
There was nowhere to go and nowhere to end.
Where do we begin?
We would never win
This mountain that brought the darkness upon
Oh where did we go wrong?
