there’s a fire on the inside, there’s a tremor in my hand but it isn’t in my hand, the himalayas are now shaking
get ready to run but there’s no time to go, ancient buildings are now falling, i hear the cries of the people stuck in the rubble, the city has now crumbled, watch out, the temple’s falling now, there’s a tired man who is digging in the dirt is that a sound or was it just another shock, with the power and the lights gone, keep searching, keep hoping
cause you never really know
well there’s a fire on the outside, stand back the quake isn’t over, the earth isn’t finished yet, it’s got a long way to go
and mother earth doesn’t care now, and never has you know, we’re just a temporary species, holding on to what we’ve got, but our grip is slipping badly, and the hanging rope is knotted, there’s a fire on the inside, look out, get out of the way, everest is coming down and everything is going to break
