VESUVIUS
The earth shook in 62
Buildings fell children too
But no one knew what Vesuvius would do
What Vesuvius would do.
August 24th 79AD the end of the world for Pompeii
The violent volcano blew its top
Destruction rained
It did not stop
Greater than an atomic blast
Buried in a volcanic cast
1500 years went by
Hidden from human eye
Beneath the earth preserved in time
For its rebirth
Pompeii, Pompeii, Pompeii, Pompeii,
Do you remember that fateful day
Pompeii, Pompeii, Pompeii, Pompeii
When time stopped.

Oh the young who go to war
leave love at the door
What are they killing for
Babies dying on the floor
Bad news one Sunday morning
A young heart was stopped, without warning
Mother must endure the pain
Johnny won't be home again
The writing is in the sand
For the owners of the land
The price of wars too high
When babies are made to die
Soldiers march heads up high
But politicians lie
You've heard this song before
Why can't we put an end to war
Why can't we put an end to war
