Cling to no-one For not one survived Overwhelmed by The Desolation You fall
We lived the eve of mankind And heeded not the passing’s sign So bothers mine – a lullaby To end all ages we laid down our lives
The thousand vibrant tongues Silent all at once And the myriad lifeless eyes Six billion dead gazes into the deaf, boundless, darkening sky
Solemn endless awe An obsolete crown A desolate throne A kingdom ours come
We speak through the ages now Passionate and dark our voices strong The shadow of our headstone grows long Against the sunset – redder never before
This is requiem For the radiant daybreak The horizon painted fission-red
The sun plummets in the emptiness An ominous crimson in this wake of the might of men A void of ash and dust reaches as far as the eye can see Nothingness is all that would meet the eye Were there any to bear witness to it Yet there are none
