Vesuvius and Pomepii Power Ballad

Verse 1

Since the very start of everything

You were my Vesuvius, my ruin, my sting

I was your Pompeii, asleep in the deep

Buried beneath a love too fierce to keep

You incinerated every dream I had sewn

Turned my devotion to ash and to bone

Now I am archaeology of the heart

Excavated, shattered, torn apart

Pre-Chorus

In the thunder of your eruption I drowned

As the river of lava poured over the ground

You whispered: "Keep your head above the fire"

But I was just a fool consumed by desire

Chorus

Between your sulfur and my oxygen

Between your sulfur and my oxygen

— Everything —

Between your sulfur and my oxygen

Between your sulfur and my oxygen

— Everything —

Verse 2

Souls from another century walk overhead

With brushes and lanterns to wake up the dead

They find us still tangled, still locked in embrace

Not broken, not bitter — just frozen in place

Bridge

We are found here, entwined, without grief

Pompeii and Vesuvius, beyond belief

With the roles reversed now, the story rings true —

I was the volcano burning inside of you

Outro

The tale that is written in stone and in flame

Of a love that exploded and died without shame

They find us still holding — not lost, not apart —

Two ruins, still whole: an indestructible heart
