As I linger over the city,483Please respect copyright.PENANAco8wvYf27O
I sense a time of ruin and pity.
For I know what will happen here.483Please respect copyright.PENANAOjp3ksRPYK
Ev'rything will soon disappear.
Just looking at me, they should know483Please respect copyright.PENANAoPuqKvkNI7
and expect a blanket of black snow.
Confusion arises as I cover the city,483Please respect copyright.PENANAWdcNc6jOfh
hiding it from daylight for all eternity.
A blistering tower of flame reaches for the sky,483Please respect copyright.PENANA2bGOFeH61Y
and everyone, for a moment, has to wonder why.
This is the time. It finally arrived.483Please respect copyright.PENANAi5tXHVtu9b
Women, children, men immediately hide.
Hoping to reach safety, a ship drifts on by,483Please respect copyright.PENANAnBdG7hd8K1
soon pummeled by rocks falling from the sky.
These missiles create immense waves,483Please respect copyright.PENANADHxQmz30hF
and, to much despair, make ev'ry home sway.
Hoping to save innocent lives, I float inside ev'ry home,483Please respect copyright.PENANAIcdNC2ayAZ
whispering quietly, “Leave quickly to safe haven in Rome!”
