The earth seemed asleep
As if time had been paused
A silence so deep
Even birds stopped their song
The wind had died down
The air became close
When from under the ground
Nature’s fury arose
Then out of the blue
The world started to shake
There was nothing to do
No way out, no escape
The earth belched out fire
Erupting in rage
Ashes darkened the skies
Thousands died in the flames
Man will always remember
Death and fire fell like rain
Changing history forever
The quake to end all quakes
Yellowstone memorial day
Lest we never forget
Our planet’s a cruel place
We are living… on the edge
Shockwaves circled the earth
Massive waves crushed the shores
All the world felt the burst
The unstoppable force
Our technology failed
To avoid this event
Mother nature prevailed
And she’ll do it again!
