The World After

[instrumental intro] [drop] [Verse 1] The world has fallen, a post-apocalyptic sight Three wars too many, and now we say goodbye But what's left behind, a planet in despair A desolate landscape, with no one to care Ten years pass, nature starts to reclaim Wilderness growing, a new game Animals roam free, no humans to hinder The earth begins to heal, a new era to remember [Chorus] It's been ten, a hundred, a thousand years The world's changed, and it's finally clear Mankind's gone, and nature's regained control A new chapter unfolds, a story untold [Verse 2] A hundred years later, a new balance emerges The earth has healed, a vibrant surge Trees tower high, and oceans thrive A new ecosystem, alive and diverse The remnants of our cities, now ruins of old Nature's reclaimed what we once controlled Wildlife flourishes, a vibrant tapestry The earth has moved on, leaving us a memory [Chorus] A century has passed, and the wounds have healed Nature's strength revealed, a new world congealed Mankind's legacy, a distant memory The earth has turned a page, a new history [Verse 3] A thousand years hence, the earth has transformed Nature's reign is absolute, a new norm The concrete jungles, now ancient relics Eroded by time, nature's delicate tricks The oceans have risen, reshaping the land New coastlines emerge, a different stand The earth has written a new narrative A tale of resilience, where nature thrives and drives [Chorus] A millennium has passed, and the earth has evolved Nature's resilience, a powerful resolve Mankind's absence, a distant echo The earth has moved on, a new epoch [Bridge] And so, the story of mankind ends But the earth, it continues, a new tale it wends A reminder of our fragility, our impact so small The earth continues, an enduring, majestic ball [Verse 4] In our absence, nature has flourished and grown A testament to life, a new throne The planet has healed, and moved on from our mistakes A new chapter begins, as the earth awakens and shakes And so, we leave the stage, a reminder of our folly The earth, a resilient force, continues its journey, never lonely A cautionary tale, of our rise and fall The earth, a majestic survivor, stands tall [Chorus] In our demise, the earth has prevailed A new narrative, where nature has sailed Mankind's legacy, a distant echo's cry The earth, a resilient warrior, continues its eternal lie [instrumental outro] [instrumental outro]
