Dark lava

Dark lava is a shade of red
But not the kind that makes you glad
It's the color of the rock
That once was hot and full of shock

Dark lava is a dull orange hue
But not the kind that's bright and new
It's the color of the crust
That once was molten and robust

Dark lava is a mix of gray and brown
But not the kind that makes you frown
It's the color of the earth
That once was witness to a birth

Dark lava is a color that is rare
But not the kind that makes you stare
It's the color of the past
That once was fiery and fast.
