Gleaming passion diminished,
The world's inevitable demise;
It was like seeing death for the first time,
Through a child's fading eyes.
Blood-lust satisfied,
In one simple sweep.
The human race extinguished;
Forever in peace, forever asleep.
The skies rained acid,
Destroying every civilization beneath.
The tides of extinction collapsed,
Death's scythe was unsheathed.
The harassing fires,
Burned at instant speeds.
Judgement day is over,
Death awarded our misdeeds.
Together we fell,
All the nations finally became one.
Armageddon elapsed;
All forms of life, undone.

Maybe one day.
