Krakatoa (B-side of Rock 'n' Roll Gypsy) - Saxon

To the east of Java back in eighteen eighty three

Stood a peaceful island basking in the sea

No one knew the danger lying deep beneath the earth

That Mother Nature’s victim would sooth the monsters, burn

Krakatoa

The earth was torn asunder with a deadly roar

When the dust had settled Krakatoa was no more

With a scream of fury the power was released

The biggest known explosion the world had ever seen

The shockwaves traveled 'round the earth to smash the Richter scale

The tidal wave that followed left death and desolation in it’s trail

Krakatoa

The earth was torn asunder with a deadly roar

When the dust had settled Krakatoa was no more

Blasting chunks of magma into the stratosphere

A thousand scarlet sunsets the land, a sea of fear

To the east of Java basking in the sea

The sign of Krakatoa is rising from the deep

Krakatoa

The earth was torn asunder with a deadly roar

When the dust had settled Krakatoa was no more

Krakatoa
