When thunderous roars that shake the ground
Hurl rocks out from the fires of hell,
And through the air with mighty force
Until they crash upon the earth
And shatter all below;
When molten lava from mountainside
Erupts and spews across the land
Like glowing streams of blood,  
While flames of glowing orange
Lick the sky, and choking smoke
Whirls round in clouds of burning dust -  
Then offer up a red bull-calf:
Placate this god of fire.

Powerful imagery but I say "Forget the calf and run."

Very strong and powerful imagery used in your verse.  I enjoyed it very much but am happy to read about and not experience it first hand
