The end of the world was dreary

And teary, and eerie and grey

As some did run to their loved ones,

Others did cry in dismay

They trampled, and wrestled and panicked

not knowing just what they should do

The people of Earth, they spent their last minutes

Wondering… before all their lives they saw through

If I had a last moment to live

I think I’d sit and wonder as well

How do you spend such a moment?

It’s human, it’s futile, death’s spell

As the ships descend through the atmosphere,

As the zombies, they leap from the earth

Tsunamis, eruptions, corruptions commandeer

And our lives are burned at the hearth

As bushfires roar across golden planes,

As disease stamps out our last breath,

As our own stupidity strikes finally again,

We contemplate, we internalise our own death
