Earthshock

I'm shocked and saddened by the devastation across the world. This, I hope, conveys something of what I want to say...

Earthshock
 
Now the earth is screaming out in pain
Waves break on shore, too fast to flee
Pray for those suffering, who still remain
 
The ground convulses, tectonic sprain
Tall buildings shake, like swaying tree
Now the earth is screaming out in pain
 
The King of Terrors comes to reign
Among the fallen, crushed debris
Pray for those suffering, who still remain
 
Comfort the living, weep for the slain
Across the world, give generously
Now the earth is screaming out in pain
 
As a thief comes in night to fell domain
None could tell the hour, nor could foresee
Pray for those suffering, who still remain
 
Weep for the dead, no grief restrain
O poor Japan, we mourn with thee
Now the earth is screaming out in pain
Pray for those suffering, who still remain
