The whole town nearly died
The entire town was on the verge of destruction.
When rocks flew from the sky

The stray dogs whined and howled

At dark foreboding clouds

The mayor screamed and fled

The priest hid under his bed

Uprooted trees did spin

To the sound of a merciless wind

Will you love me when I'm old?

I'm still hoping I can get that far

Except the jailer and his pack of cards

Their souls could not be saved
