A caldera is a cauldron-like volcanic feature usually formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption. They are sometimes confused with volcanic craters. The word comes from Spanish caldera, and this from Latin CALDARIA, meaning "cooking pot." In some texts the English term cauldron is also used.
In 1815, the German geologist Leopold von Buch visited the Las Cañadas caldera of Teide on Tenerife, and the Caldera de Taburiente on La Palma, both in the Canary Islands. When he published his memoirs he introduced the term caldera into the geological vocabulary.
A collapse is triggered by the emptying of the magma chamber beneath the volcano, usually as the result of a large volcanic eruption. If enough magma is ejected, the emptied chamber is unable to support the weight of the volcanic edifice above it. A roughly circular fracture, the ring fault, develops around the edge of the chamber. Ring fractures serve as feeders for fault intrusions which are also known as ring dykes. Secondary volcanic vents may form above the ring fracture. As the magma chamber empties, the center of the volcano within the ring fracture begins to collapse. The collapse may occur as the result of a single cataclysmic eruption, or it may occur in stages as the result of a series of eruptions. The total area that collapses may be hundreds or thousands of square kilometers.
Plot
In the year 1999, astronomer Professor Amamori has discovered a tenth planet within the solar system. Unfortunately, he also discovers that it is set to collide with the Earth on 9 September 1999, at 9:09:09 AM. Professor Amamori makes preparations to save the planet, aided in his campaign by his nephew Hajime and his secretary Yukino Yayoi. Unknown to anyone, Yayoi harbours deep secrets: LaMetal crosses paths with Earth (and wreaks chaos) every millennium, it is home to an advanced civilization who enslave any human survivors of the cataclysm, and she herself is the Millennial Queen, a special citizen of La Metal who comes to Earth every 1000 years to prepare for the this passing. However, she also hopes to save Earth, for though she is from LaMetal, she cannot stand aside and let her home world destroy the planet and its natives that she has come to love. And so she begins a desperate struggle of her own.

Nuclear Winter
And you never seemed to notice
That your life is just a flash
But you'll finally get to realize
Right before it turns to ash
Just wait
Sit around alone while you contemplate
Our fate
That is being sealed as a world creates
It's end
Take a bow for the show, you know that death is just
Our friend
For we all know the fight was rough but not enough
Take this time to see that your life is beautiful
Keep that in mind as others are taken
You're just next in line
Hope that death comes to you swiftly
Then you'll be just fine
Take your time to observe your place
You knew
Saw it all on the screen, but you couldn't decide
What's true
Take a look around, and see it'll soon
Be gone
With plutonium snow that'll quickly destroy
By dawn
Every word is just another nail in the casket
Just don't bother at all, who cares
Don't just hold your breath
Keep in mind, you'll come to find your
LIFE IS OWNED BY DEATH
All mankind summed up in a splinter

Good Things Come Of Tragedy
We both kept crashing down
Free falling to despair
But before we drew our guns
We had realized what was there
It takes war to finally see
Just the things we could've made
But it only took a day
To finally see you were betrayed
Good things come of tragedy
Wreckage burns, but we escaped
Our hearts are bruised
Our souls are scraped
We both kept crashing down
Not knowing what lay ahead
Silent protest deep inside
Waking demons from the dead
Still I look into the past
Thinking of what happened when
We traded blood with ourselves

Breathing deeply
Wasting no time
As he watches
Temper will climb
Ashes made of
Past emotions
Deepening his
Evil notions
Walls of brimstone shelter this beast
Here he'll suffer, to say the least
Taking caution
So vendictive
He will offer
All he can give
Justified but
Not too clever
Making goals he
Must endeavor
Walls of brimstone shelter this beast
Here he'll suffer, to say the least
Now it's time
For him to rise
Bestow his wrath

Requiem
If you look closely at my tears
You'll see they're spelling out your name
And my blood will paint your portrait
Held inside a broken frame
A weeping, just a melody
Sings the tune of my defeat
The look that's on my face right now
It's just a white flag of retreat
So this tainted love song
Proceeds without delay
And when it's finally over
My thoughts will soon decay
When the song is over
I'll follow close behind
My screams will soon be silenced
My vision will go blind
So as you hear this final note
I hope it stops your precious heart
And takes your mind, rapes your soul
Just like you tore my life apart
Soon the rhythm of my life
Will decreshendo peacefully
My existance, after time

Quit Foolin Yourself
I just love the way
The way you make them feel so bad
And it pains me how
Sympathy makes you so glad
Surely we all forgot of that one little knot
Or that obvious seam that shows truth as it gleams
You don't have what it takes just to handle mistakes
Or the balls to withstand what the real world could hand
Keep manufacturing tears
Bleed all the fake blood you've bought
Do all it takes just to finish
This war that you haven't faught
You'd love the world to watch you cry
Though it's not so hard so see
You have nothing else besides
These stupid prophecies
Though it's sad but untrue, things that you'll never do
All this painful "disgrace" never even took place
And your trauma and spite simply formed overnight
Your a liar, a thief, who invents his own grief
Keep manufacturing tears
Bleed all the fake blood you've bought
Do all it takes just to finish

Blood and Tears
You know me all too well, it seems
You've solved the labyrinth of my mind
Simply defied me like a child
Misguided me like I was blind
It is my fault I let you in
Although it seems like you're to blame
I was too weak to take control
And so I hang my head in shame
A thirst for which you cannot quench
A needle filled with blood and tears
An hour when your get your way
Means a lifetime of my fears
Let me turn my back for you
So you can stab me with these lies
Promise doesn't mean that much
Until it causes my demise
So take the blade I'm wielding
Strike down what you have made
Scythe me until I'm ruined
Bury what you've betrayed
I once was blind, but now its clear
I once was deaf, but now can hear
A screaming hate, this battle cry
Stay with me until I die
It was not right, but now it's clear
Its hard to clean the blood of the dead
Its hard to escape the fear in your head
But you know what
I can retreat
I will not slaughter my dreams inside
I will triumph over better times
Grief and despair I do not care
No regrets
I see the cup as half empty
I look for a brighter day
We talked all night
Mistakes were made
We use art
To save ourselves from the truth
For I cannot fail
I have only found a billion
Ways it hasn't worked
Wisdom speaks
But knowledge listens
I often regret my speech
Never my silence
Fill what's empty,
empty what's full
and scratch where it itches
a pint of sweat saves a gallon of blood
lets toast to that
When my ideas fail
Words come in handy
How do you speak
When you choke on you words
I've swallowed my pride
My pride is fire
This light burns inside
And you'll wake up to find that an angel has...
Stabbed you in the back
Riddled you with lies
Took away your peace
Silenced all your cries
Torn apart your mind
Rectified your pain
Parylized your tounge
Driven you insane
How could you forget this fire?
How could justice not be served?
When will truth be on my side?
When will I get what I deserve?
A thousand teardrops couldn't wash the dirt off of my
name
A royal pardon couldn't take away these years of shame
I will not be lost
I will not be found
Nailed inside a box
Six feet undergound
How could you forget this fire?
How could justice not be served?
When will truth be on my side?
