Dark humour perhaps, but if one doesn't laugh at these events one would surely cry...

Frightened Night

Frightened night, rumbling night,
All's a-shake, all's a-fright,
Round the fire we weep and cry
"Oh not not again" our lullaby,
Flee in search of peace,
Flee in search of peace.

Wading through an earthquake wonderland

Things fall down, are you listening,
In the road, water's glistening,
A crappy old sight
Unhappy tonight,
Wading through an earthquake wonderland.

Gone away is the passion,
Here to stay - liquefaction!
It's trailed all about,
As we go out,
Wading through an earthquake wonderland.

In the driveway we can clear some silt out
Then pretend the house will not fall down
We'll say "is it over?"
They'll say "No man!"
But we can dream along
Whilst out of town

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Wading through an earthquake wonderland.
