Vesuvius
The pyroclastic surge buries us all
As we burn alive we watch our city fall
Entombed by debris from hell
Forced out from my mortal shell
I watch as my kin turn to ash
Torn asunder from the blast
My people gone
Hades have mercy on us all
Toxic gasses start to pour down from the mountain
The people scream as we all try to flee
The plumes of smoke chasing after
All life
Hope is lost as we all ignite
Burn
Civilization gone and wiped from the map
Everything I love taken with the thunderclap
A culture filled with complexity
All is swallowed in the volcanic sea
Deep and rich in it's history
All is swallowed in the volcanic sea
The pyroclastic surge buries us all
As we burn alive we watch our city fall
Entombed by debris from hell
Forced out from my mortal shell
I watch as my kin turn to ash
Torn asunder from the blast
My people gone
Hades have mercy on us all
Mt. Vesuvius has erupted and damned us
Such a tragedy, all has turned to dust
There is no time for fear when our death is so near
This will be our end
"It was so particularly violent that night that it not only shook, but actually overturned, as it would seem, everything about us"
This will be our end, nothing left, the people dead
I can't believe what I'm seeing
Is this punishment, is this intervention
from the gods who damn our well-being
This will be our end, nothing left, the people dead
I can't believe what I'm seeing
Is this punishment, is this intervention
from the gods who damn our well-being
Burn
Civilization gone and wiped from the map
Everything I love taken with the thunderclap
A culture filled with complexity
All is swallowed in the volcanic sea
Deep and rich in it's history
All is swallowed in the volcanic sea
As we burn alive we watch our city fall
Entombed by debris from hell
Forced out from my mortal shell
I watch as my kin turn to ash
Torn asunder from the blast
My people gone
Hades have mercy on us all
Toxic gasses start to pour down from the mountain
The people scream as we all try to flee
The plumes of smoke chasing after
All life
Hope is lost as we all ignite
Burn
Civilization gone and wiped from the map
Everything I love taken with the thunderclap
A culture filled with complexity
All is swallowed in the volcanic sea
Deep and rich in it's history
All is swallowed in the volcanic sea
The pyroclastic surge buries us all
As we burn alive we watch our city fall
Entombed by debris from hell
Forced out from my mortal shell
I watch as my kin turn to ash
Torn asunder from the blast
My people gone
Hades have mercy on us all
Mt. Vesuvius has erupted and damned us
Such a tragedy, all has turned to dust
There is no time for fear when our death is so near
This will be our end
"It was so particularly violent that night that it not only shook, but actually overturned, as it would seem, everything about us"
This will be our end, nothing left, the people dead
I can't believe what I'm seeing
Is this punishment, is this intervention
from the gods who damn our well-being
This will be our end, nothing left, the people dead
I can't believe what I'm seeing
Is this punishment, is this intervention
from the gods who damn our well-being
Burn
Civilization gone and wiped from the map
Everything I love taken with the thunderclap
A culture filled with complexity
All is swallowed in the volcanic sea
Deep and rich in it's history
All is swallowed in the volcanic sea
