Gone the grass, the wheat replaced
Earth and dust the static feeds
Wind whirls and monster grows
Dust bowl gives life to death
Gripping in darkness
The savage beast devours
Horizon to horizon
Menacing wall of dust
Towering power it storms
Farms devoured, swallowed whole
Life drowns in sand and earth
Faster, faster growing death
The black blizzard rages west
Despair, depression its wake does leave
Anchored soil, new trees give life
Death to the Beast Titan,
From earth to earth it lies
Blanketed in silent wait
