El Malpais National Monument...

In the winter, click to enlarge
Out in the New Mexico country side, the lava used to flow,
from lava tubes so large, it flooded with lava, all those years ago;
now frozen by the chilling winter cold,
this is now what's left, at lease that's what I'm told.

The formations here shaped by wind and rain...
..along with the volcano, caused the land great pain;
it's all here today, won't you come and see..
the remnants of ancient times, we call that history.
