This song is about a master and slave aka “Helot” during the time when Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried the city of Pompeii in 79 CE.
I will, I will assert my dominance over you, I will
I will, I will
You will, you will do as you're told
Do as I say, you will, you will
Fire mountain
Blow its top
Grab my jewels
Let's get the hell out of here
Fire mountain
Blows its load
All over you
All over me
Pompeii Pompeii
Vesuvius
Blowin' ashes in my sky
Turning my lungs white
I can't breathe, I can't see
Carry me out of this hell
Volcano, preserve me in hard stone, catastrophe
My slave, my slave
You served me, served me well
Can't run from hell
Helot was written by Kurt Danielson & Tad Doyle & Gary Thorstensen & Steve Wied.
