There’s a rumbling down in my belly
And I feel like I’m bound to explode
There’s an anger in me like some mad deity
Whose patience is about to erode.
I can feel the fires building pressure
I can feel myself losing control
Now the forces within have conspired to begin
Shaking me down to my very soul.
And when I explode, I’ll explode over you
You’ll be covered with ashes, I’ll dry up the dew
On your grass and your house and your lips and your hair
I am Vesuvius, so beware!
Now the landscape around me is fantastic
Like a scene from a Disney cartoon
But each hamlet and farm will be swept with alarm
When I am awakening soon.
Perhaps I should quake to alert them
Perhaps I should belch out some fumes
I can hold back the flow for an hour or so
Before turning houses to tombs.
And when I explode, I’ll explode over you
You’ll be covered with ashes, I’ll dry up the dew
On your grass and your house and your lips and your hair
I am Vesuvius, so beware!
You can no longer take me for granted,
No longer pretend I’m not here,
You’ll have nothing in mind but for God’s sake to find
Some way out of my black atmosphere.
If you stay you’ll be one of my victims,
If you leave you’ll lose all that you own.
And with one final breath, you will welcome your death
For it’s better than being alone.
And when I explode, I’ll explode over you
You’ll be covered with ashes, I’ll dry up the dew
On your grass and your house and your lips and your hair
I am Vesuvius, so beware!
