All on a sudden
The earth cracked,
Things fell apart
And the centre cannot hold

Loud cries of children crashed in their head
Shrieks of old men all over the street
Women under the broken walls imprisoned
People rushed helter skelter
O! God, There was no place to hide

The wage of sin is death
But what sin did these people commit?
God was silent
After the tremor the whole country was silent
Those who used to speak aloud are all dead
and sleeping under the debris now...
