Avalanche starts with
One sound
The world reaches its
Tipping point
And falls right over
Falls from the peak
In headlong fury
Plunges down to
Destruction
Leaves everything buried
Homes lives hearts loves
Buried
One sound starts destruction
One foolish word brings
The world down
Around my ears
The smallest slip
And nothing is ever
The same again
One sound
The world reaches its
Tipping point
And falls right over
Falls from the peak
In headlong fury
Plunges down to
Destruction
Leaves everything buried
Homes lives hearts loves
Buried
One sound starts destruction
One foolish word brings
The world down
Around my ears
The smallest slip
And nothing is ever
The same again
