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

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
Krakatoa
Krakatoa
