Empty World

Waking up, realizing the absence of sound Empty streets, no sign of life Just the bitter taste of guilt I'll stay here I cry every night For the dreams long forgotten And if I leave this place No one will notice Because I'm all alone here in this empty world Empty streets, no sign of life Everyone left long ago Winter coated everything with ashes We had our chance and lost it Too many failures, too many cries in vain Unheard, ignored. And now large amounts of pulverized debris And molten earth are pulled up into the mushroom cloud It now contains billions of highly radioactive particles This is where radioactive fallout is born I'll stay here I cry every night For the memories that are fading I will not leave this place Be a reminder That our home has not always been an empty world
