When Mountains Move

It’s the earth shedding her skin
Demonstrating her power, halting her spin
Fire and ice moulding into iron and steel
Releasing life giving steam, breaking her seal

When worlds collide, continents are rearranged 
Mass extinction follows and new life forms established
New worlds discovered and we bridge the future and the past
The bar is raised even higher and we become giants

Our Lives are transformed by earthquakes,
Evacuate humanity above floodlines in her wake
Tunnels are drilled through highways like tornados
Nothing can stop our progress because we move mountains
