“Ashes” (Pompeii)
Ashes are falling
Down from the sky
Ashes falling like snow
From the mountains
Down the valley below
Ashes are falling
On me
As the sky thickens
The earth trembles
And the song on the wind
Silences those below
In the distance
I can hear their screaming
Cries for help
As they’re suffocating
Ashes falling from the sky
Ashes falling like snow
Covering those down below
Nothing else remains
