lyrics

On Earth
Our old Earth
We are dispensable
She does not hear our cries

As great chasms open up right beneath our feet and then swallow us whole
Earth’s crust splits and cracks
As tectonic plates collide

Blind panic spreads like pestilence across the globe
Crowds spill into the streets

Most flee their homes
Leaving everything behind
Blindly they drive in vain hope
That they will find
Somewhere calm and safe
Far away from the end of days
Somewhere they can rebuild
A place where hope remains

Countless migrating birds on the long voyage home to breed
Succumb to exhaustion and plummet toward the sea
Hordes of migrating beasts in search of pastures to feed
Crash into the dirt
Withered
Weakened
Released

They will never reach the places they seek

Hibernating animals stand the best chance of life
If their burrows are not flooded or airless chambers
Violent storms subside as the Earths spin slows down
Without motion the Coriolis Effect stops worldwide

Behold the chaos here
This changes everything
Time for us to take that final walk into the goodnight

Computer networks fail all around the globe
Total collapse as our governments and civilisations implode

Behold the chaos here
God help us

Days seem to last forever as you stagger through the desolate city
Hallucinations trick your tired eyes
The endless days leave you sleep deprived
Delirium will not release its grasp
Still rest will not come even with the night
