The wave came crashing down on our land
Playing the part of the destroyer
Glad to escape the sinking sand
No one left to get a lawyer
It rolled in unexpectedly
A great wall of grey
It didn't come effectively
And took everything away
It swallowed up with it's big mouth
All that you could see
Didn't care and headed on south
Didn't wait for anyone to agree
Why does it make us feel such fear?
Why is there terror in our eyes?
As painful as the sharpest spear
Great ear-piercing cries
Children on the beach
Drowning in the storming sea
Their mothers out of reach
Waves loving to be free
Most people are lying, dead
Beautiful buildings gone
Objects floating on the sea-bed
Nothing left at dawn
