Mighty Rumble

Mighty rumble epic shake Fault lines cracking it's a quake! Swaying streetlamps breaking glass Sidewalks rolling smell of gas Bridges groaning wires snap! Cars are falling in the gap So many lives, now down the river Bodies floating some still shiver Buildings crushing muffled cries Mother's wailing children die Killer earthquake terrifies... Civic heroes riding by Doctors, nurses wipe their brows Broken femurs fractured skulls All the armor put to test Broken city laid to rest Heaps of rubble laughter gone Naught but trouble Soldier on... All our prayers just a token Mother Earth, has boldly spoken!
