Krakatoa

To the east of Java back in 1883 Stood a peaceful island basking in the sea No one knew the danger lying deep beneath the earth That Mother Nature's victim would sooth the monsters's birth Krakatoa The earth was Sunda with a deadly roar When the dust had settled Krakatoa was no more With a scream of fury the power was released The biggest known explosion the world had ever seen The shockwaves traveled 'round the earth to smash the Richter scale The tidal wave that followed left death and desolation in it's trail Krakatoa The earth was Sunda with a deadly roar When the dust had settled Krakatoa was no more Blasting chunks of magma into the stratosphere A thousand scarlet sunsets the land, a sea of fear To the east of Java basking in the sea The sign of Krakatoa is rising from the deep Krakatoa The earth was Sunda with a deadly roar When the dust had settled Krakatoa was no more Krakatoa Krakatoa Krakatoa
