higit sampung libong tao'y tinatayang namatay
dahil sa dahas ng bagyo't delubyong humalukay
doon sa pusod ng Tacloban, sa pulo ng Waray
naglatag sa kalsada ang, ah, pagkaraming bangkay
kayhirap isipin kung ikaw mismo'y naroroon
nagunaw na ang mundo't laksa-laksa ang nabaon
tila buong karagatan sa kanila'y lumamon
anong uring poot ang nasa dibdib ni Poseidon
