lyrics

Now the chaos ends
The Earth is calm again
Oceans are peaceful now
And the skies are windless

Two vast oceans reach from the poles to the shore
A new continent now wraps around the Earth
The centre ground is lethally airless
Dividing the North and the South

Those in landlocked cities
Begin to run out of food to eat
As there are no waters to fish nor harvests to reap

The storms are predictable
The rains last for weeks on end
For those lucky enough to be
In a place where rains will come

Silence is deafening
The calm is palpable
The Earth is desolate
Uninhabitable for man

The relentless hunger leaves us weak and thin
Endless thirst leaves our throats cracked and bleeding
Disease depletes our dwindling numbers
As we try to survive among the ruins

The Earth has one weather system controlled by the sun
The epicentre of its focus so hot the surface sets on fire
Humanity strains to endure
Upon strips of coastal sand
Clinging by a thread
This is what we are reduced to now

Earth stands still
