Opening my eyes again I see 

The blanket of ashes 

Covering the streets 

Of pompeii That were once so clean

Unaware of the danger lurking 

All were indulged 

In the chores working 

Soon came the day 

It gobbled us up 

The mountain we loved 

The peak that was highlighted above

The black mist fogged my eyes

All families and allies 

Rescuing from the curse in disguise 

As the sky is now filled with ember and cries

Alas! The molten metal

Swam down the hill

Ashes crushing life like petals

Breathes that would kill

Time stopped for the city 

And it's people

Corpses scattered around 

Grey coloured and disheveled 

Today I visit this sorrowful city again

Seeing the distressing state

I'm reminded of the haunting pain

Caused by the hell's fire crossing it's gate

Now this once a great city 

Is drawing heaps of pity

Nature once again proves to thee 

It can always end us you and me
