[Verse 1]
[Em]Del
Rooney, she's awake now,
up to sleep and I'll
The old mountain is quaking as
the earth -mantra's near
They remem[Am]ber the last time the
mud -floes came rolling down
[Em]When death and devastation
invaded their town
From the mouth of the mountain,
the fiery flood appears
A raging flame fountain,
warms the night sky so clear
Below [Am]in the valley, our mare all li[Em]es still
[Am]No o[Em]ne knows that a killer has been
born on the [Am]hill[Em][Am][Em]
Searing heat melts the ice and snow,
The water flows down a
boiling black mudflow.
Sets its course for the town
It fol[Am]lows the valleys
An[Em]d sw[Am]allows the[Em] str[Am]eams
[Em]It gorges itself as
It muffles their screams
Wildfire on the mountain
Blood sliding through the town
People running, screaming, shouting
In a sea of mud they drown
[Am][Em][Am][Em][Am]
[Em]An d now without a warning
The mud flow hits the town
The buildings, are shattered and
thrown to the ground
Sucked [Am]into the earth below,
people scream and gasp for air
[Em]In the darkness,
the deluge brings death and despair
Wildfire on the mountain
What's lighting through the town
People running, screaming, shouting
In a sea of mud [Am]they drown
[Em][Am][Em][Am][Em][Am][Em]
As the grey light of the
morning unveils
And veils the new dawn
Our merrow has vanished
The people have all gone
Twenty [Am]thousand library
[Em]Be n[Am]eath the cold ground
No [Em]noise but the wailing
That terrible [G]sound
[Am][Em][G][Am]
[Em]
you
