Panic Lyrics

People running
Around like they're crazy
Trying to save their lives.

A child is crying
And seeking his mother
She will not reply.

Old ones resign
Themselves to their fate
Pray to their gods and cry.

From the sky is raising hell
Thousands of throats cry out.

Pumice (1) fills the streets
Legs can't move and sink.

The rich groan
Clinging to their treasures
To what end?

Thieves attempt
Absurd looting
While death steals their souls.

The poor let themselves go to a last
Desperate embrace
Buried alive in their homes
Certain of their end.

They all hope to live
Certainly all ‘ll die!!

There are choices
Priorities that nature cannot
Justify to men
Stupid to look for a reason why.

The grey ash covers the faces
And enters the lungs,
Breathes break, hearts stop
Eyes wide open
Pleading for help.

Now the city is drowned in pumice,
Smothered by ashes
But death is not yet satiated
Still hungry for lives.

Nature doesn't know
That it's helping her.

In the end
Silent gas (2) will kill
The few survivors
Everywhere!
Death sucked lives away

Lives away
It's the end of everything
A dark and immense peace filles the air

Immense peace fills the air.

Note: 1) pumice is a volcanic rock that, at high altitude, cools and fills with air.
2) lethal gas comes out of the bowels of the earth.
