Around and above us the winds roar by,
Shattering boulders of ice in the air,
It tossing them hard against cliffs that are bare,
Uprooting mountains and making them fly.
The tornadoes swirl and scream, fill up the sky,
The ground screams loud as its body they tear,
The gales are stronger than this world can bare:
Its oceans run, as the wind sweeps them dry.

    Beneath a thousand miles of hurricane,
Pulled helpless to the ground by forces great,
We lie on Neptune, crawl over its face.
As by us winds whip rocks from the terrain
Of sand And hurl them through the sky with untold hate:
Soon we, like they, will vanish without trace.
