Aftershock lyrics

Was it predicted? There was no warning Avoided panic by false alarm Was it neglected? A reason for denying Ignorant people remain calm Ah afraid of what was coming ahead Oh of what the richter scale said A seven or maybe higher Like oxygen feeding fire Living in an earthquake zone It's a timebomb ticking It started grumbling Time was running short No chance to get the city evacuated Towers trumbling down with rumbling force In the shadows of the fire The skyline faded Ah afraid of what was coming ahead Oh many missing, dozen dead Five thousand or maybe more Like many times before Living in an earthquake zone It's a timebomb ticking A seven or maybe higher Like oxygen feeding fire Living in an earthquake zone It's a timebomb ticking Was it predicted? There was no warning Avoided panic by false alarm Was it neglected? A reason for denying Ignorant people remain calm Ah afraid of what was coming ahead Oh of what the richter scale said A seven or maybe higher Like oxygen feeding fire Living in an earthquake zone It's a timebomb ticking Five thousand or maybe more Like many times before Living in an earthquake zone It's a timebomb ticking A timebomb ticking
