Aftermath

So here we are

You thought you'd seen it all

Still amongst the living after the fall

The burning rock fell from the sky

Laid waste to old world, most did die

Roaming the fire

Adapting to ash

Scavenging to survive

Time and pressure

Make us clash

Feeding off each other when we can

The decisions that we make

Beg the question, "Are we still human?"

Resources dwindle fast

I'll desperation haunts the land

Our morals crumble steadily

Sadly, our souls deteriorate

We'll soon expire

The threshold maxed

Arms in air, some do cry

"Why God, have you turned blind eye?"

To think you've seen the worst

Brutal truth shall surely hurt

Existence may be a gift

But ever entwined with suffering

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

Fooling ourselves for how much longer?

Pushing 'gainst nature's grain

Kidding ourselves that we're still sane

The shame

Endless pain

Living in aftermath

Old world long gone

Those left, the remnant insane

Carry on

Sobbing as they chew

Recent allies become food

Slowly man's flame dies out

No energy to shout

This world, once majestic

Our lost nobility

Taking eyes for eyes

What's left of mankind

No longer sees

Feeding on each other while we can

The decisions that we've made

There's no question, no longer human

To think you've seen the worst

Brutal truth shall surely hurt

Existence may be a gift

But ever entwined with suffering

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

Fooling ourselves for how much longer?

Pushing 'gainst nature's grain

Kidding ourselves that we're still sane

The shame

Endless pain

Living in aftermath
