On the Chorus of Pompeii by Bastille

Pompeii by Bastille VEVO@YouTube
.
.
with such a powerful opening
the chorus of the song
hits hard those who
already know the end
For what right does anyone have to remain
ignorant of Vesuvius and its Victims
.
"And if you close your eyes"
causes my tears to flow
blinding me when i cannot be blinded
as he links when our plans and machinations crash
to those caught in nature's little accident
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
As my plans come crashing down again
planning only to get through each night
holding little one in my arms
what little time she lets me
before she is bundled off to bed
.
time will fast come when she
is speaking more
and more intelligibly besides
than I can, than I will, but for now,
i can hold her until she squirms
.
and while she sleeps, i hide in the game
