The Last Wave

The earth cracks the land splits
From the cracks the magma spits making the land smoldering slits
What comes next, what will it be?
We’re about to find out, what will we see...

On the horizon across the planes
The wave is there all strong and brave
You see it there, the mighty wave
The water denies the crops the land
making the country barren and damp
What can you do?
What can you save?
The wave will come and make you its slave.
