Lyrics
Almost seventeen years
They'd been living in peace
Which made their conscience lazy
Life was happily tuned
To take it easy
Seemed the golden rule
But again they ignored
The tune Vesuvius scored
A scream of raw distortion
Glowing rocks he used as drums and cymbals
Burning lava for his violins
The orchestra was in tune
But when they had reached section two
He had a special effect
Which didn't look like a gag
He dropped Pompeii apart
Descending into part three
He gave the encore for free, ah
The warning bawl in unknown skies
Was recognised too late
Pompeii's lights had faded out
The gods had closed their gates
The mountain opened up its mouth
Its breath was crimson gold
The day Pompeii died
It was the devil's spell
The morbid deal had been fulfilled
Vesuvius raised his hand
Thou shalt not kill
