Fallout

The thunderous cloud erupts out and looms
deadly, deathly silence after the deafening boom
dust brings an end to our days, we try to flee
as it comes down, falls like petals from a tree

The fall out warnings ring out
no hope for us now
if we survive this plight the days will feel like nights
lives forever changed, cards marked, humanities last rites

Bodies vaporised in an heartbeat
nothing left to see, but an xray burned into the street
mankind, mother natures still birth, never learn
all we leave is a scorched earth, as we watch it burn

End of days, caused by mans desire
we like to bring hurt, we play with fire
this time it burnt us whole
this world lost control

Radiation sickness eats away at its victims
didn't bring this on themselves, just going about business
no winners all losers. the day we split the atom
we became gods, instead of good we turned it to a weapon

Our kind will survive in part
but at what cost? so many lost hearts
so many dearly departed, no tales of glory
just regression into a cave dwellers story

Mutually assured destruction, madness to me
id rather food upon the table, a safer place to be
to change this negative for good
lets stop now before we are all worm food

Thanks for reading,
Kyle.
