lyrics

everybody felt the earthquake
a hundred miles wide
triggered the Richter scales
turned daylight into night

I must have been asleep
it's something you don't ignore
when tremors push the walls to rubble
all the way through the floor

on the commute this evening
about to reach the bridge
suddenly the road is swaying
like a wave

look out the metal and concrete
pieces everywhere
wouldn't get a second chance
to get out, out of there

terra firma
terra firma
terra firma
your steps are sure

is nothing ever set in stone here?
can you count on being fair?
you wanna put the blame on someone
it seems too much to bear

and promise becomes a burden
collapsing with the weight
you think you're going crazy
you think it's too late

terra firma
terra firma
terra firma
your steps are sure
on solid earth again
