Wave of Destruction
Wave of destruction, taker of life,
Your powerful forces strike like a knife.
People stand by, and watch you in awe,
Your terrible glory in their minds, a flaw.
Black wall of water is what they see,
A beautiful force, what you are to me.
Black as the night without stars or the moon,
You are superior, the black barracade, black boom.
Crashing, crumbling, crushing the life of the innocent one,
A child in terror runs, and you, destroyer, have won.
The definition of terror and havoc is you,
you come from the sea, the "calm" ocean of blue.
Your name is Tsunami, you stab like a knife,
You are the wave of destruction, taker of life.
