Invisible death is brought through the air.
Panic and fear conspires.
Blown out of proportions, everyone fearful
There are those who will fuel the fire.

All water will be still,
Before the accident’s arrival;
The water will become black and ill,
Hampering its life’s’ survival

Her parents plead no
But her husband wants to let it go
He said its what she would have wanted
But no one will ever know

Nobody could predict the 7.0 magnitude
That would crumble the island nation
Millions of deaths and diseases would result
Which would only add to the devastation

It was a perfectly nice evening
until the sky turned black and unleashed it's secrets.
The people ran for cover but that wasn't enough
because death and destruction was unavoidable.

Waves of sound carry her message
Of love and boys to come
Her love story and what was originally hers
Propelled her to number 1.

It all began with two so called honorable men
who were sending innocent juveniles to the pen.
The FBI’s investigation did erupt
to find that the whole valley was corrupt.

The culmination of years of technology and labor.
Experts said it was too great to fail.
Yet on its first and only usage.
That Goliath was knocked down by a rock.

Most wanted becomes least wanted.
An ad-Dawr farmhouse holds the secret.
In the ground is where he is found.
Sighs of relief fill the air.

the destruction was certainly one of the worst
people fleeing from their homes and yelling in fear
because they knew the quake was near

People of black, dust, and rock
Trapped in darkness for numerous days.
Heroes working around the clock,
Until others escape to see the daylight rays.

One possessed steel bird
Collision and chaos, the giants fall

Some thought it would never happen
A gust of wind destroyed many belongings
It was seen on the mountain

What a historical moment in time
With a new millennium on the rise
Paranoia that computers will crash before our eyes,
But in the end, everything will be just fine.

quick thinking by one will save them all

By an unwanted intruder.
THe situation could've easily been prevented,

A battle of countries fought over a minority
The majority votes for an end
One man on the run
The other sits six feet under.

Ordinary heroes emerge.
A sacrifice must be made
Great courage will always be remembered.

Out with the old in with the new.
However a weak lion will only leave problems to persist.
As the lamb gathers a voice, it is quickly silenced.
For a snowy Sabbath must now host a red river,
As God’s flock is left in ruin, and all control is lost.
