Tomorrow's Outlook - Nothing Shall Remain

They stood expectant and stared
The few that remained
As a peace was declared
The defiant were gone
Wretched corpses that lay on the ground
Torn and screaming in fear
Soon the questions arose
As sanity returned
At the sight they beheld
What could they ever say?
What could they ever do?
To make right all the infinite wrongs

Earthquakes silence all the screams
Open up and bleed
Take away the pain
Oceans rise and wash away
The scars that will not heal
Nothing shall remain

And as they tried to go on
Forge hope from the debris
A deadly silence fell upon them all
Something was terribly wrong
The sky turned black
And they could feel the hairs stand on end

Earthquakes silence all the screams
Open up and bleed
Take away the pain
Oceans rise and wash away
The scars that will not heal
Nothing shall remain

Was this an aftermath
Or calm before the storm?

And in answer to Mankind’s desperate hopes
The Prophecy became horrible reality
The Earth’s crust started trembling
What little remained of Man’s prosperity
Buildings, cities, his artificial riches and comforts
All were devoured by his Mother’s gaping maw
And where she had split open
Her molten bowels started spilling out
Those few who still persevered, lived only to see the floods
As the oceans rose to quench Her terrible thirst
Water crashed against molten stone
And the eternal mountains finally fell
What once was, is no more
Nothing remains
