To the east of Java back in eighteen eighty three 
Stood a peaceful island basking in the sea 
No one knew the danger lying deep beneath the earth 
That Mother Nature's victim would sooth the monsters, burn 
Krakatoa 
The earth was torn asunder with a deadly roar 
When the dust had settled Krakatoa was no more 
With a scream of fury the power was released 
The biggest known explosion the world had ever seen 
The shockwaves traveled 'round the earth to smash the Richter scale 
The tidal wave that followed left death and desolation in it's trail
Krakatoa 
The earth was torn asunder with a deadly roar 
When the dust had settled Krakatoa was no more 
Blasting chunks of magma into the stratosphere 
A thousand scarlet sunsets the land, a sea of fear 
To the east of Java basking in the sea 
The sign of Krakatoa is rising from the deep
Krakatoa 
The earth was torn asunder with a deadly roar 
When the dust had settled Krakatoa was no more 
Krakatoa 
Krakatoa 
Krakatoa
