lyrics

did not expect it to turn out the way that it did
for such a simple field trip, for such a basic field trip
three days ago the seismometer told me a lie
it told me I was going to die, a fiery end I’d surely find
as we got closer we saw a brown haze floating there
the smell of tephra in the air, but oddly I was never scared

and news reporters questioning everyone
live from the foot of mount st. helens

couldn’t believe what a frightening specter we’d found
what started as a little cloud, grew on and up without a sound
I saw volcanic ash blacken the once bright blue sky
and mountains grew before my eyes
a mountain grew before my eyes
take two steps forward breathe it in
ignore the danger, it’s a whim
just lose yourself in all of this
my power is so much greater
