John Mingolla - Vesuvius Lyrics

The earth shook in sixty two
Buildings fell children too
But no one knew what Vesuvius would do
What Vesuvius would do

August 24th 79 AD
The end of the world for Pompeii
The violent volcano blew its top
Destruction reigned
It did not stop

Greater than an atomic blast
Buried in a volcanic cast
Fifteen hundred years went by
Hidden from human eye

Beneath the earth
Preserved in time
For its rebirth

Pompeii, Pompeii, Pompeii, Pompeii
Do you remember that fateful day
Pompeii, Pompeii, Pompeii, Pompeii
When time stopped
