Disaster song!

I get to post this song in two different threads in short order? Cool.

“Cities in Dust” by Siouxsie and the Banshees, which is about the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Water was running; children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?
But oh your city lies in dust, my friend

World of Light by John Wesley Harding is excruciatingly beautiful and ends with everyone dead.

And Oysterband’s 'Six Grey Men’

In came the ghost of a lady gay
With a little fat boy and this to say
Because the sun is much too bright
We will not let you sleep at night…
