I have only a few minutes to live
At best a few hours, I can feel myself getting weaker
My brother died yesterday in the middle of the desert
I am now the last man on earth
I was told in the past, when I was a child
What the world was like a very very long time ago
When the parents of my great grand-father lived
When it still snowed in winter
In those times one lived by the rhythm of the seasons
When the end of summer brought about the harvest
Pure & clear water ran in the streams
Where deer & mooses came to drink
But I have only seen a desolate planet
Lunar landscapes & stiffling heat
And all my friends die from thirst or hunger
Falling like flies
Until there wasn't any more
No more...
No more...
I have only a few minutes to live
At best a few hours, I feel that I am getting weaker
My brother died yesterday in the desert
I am now the last man on earth
All this began many years ago
Back when my ancestors were obsessed
With bits of paper they called money
That made certain men truely rich & powerful
And these new gods didn't take a backward step to anything
They were ready to do anything to achieve their goals
In order to get even richer they razed the land
Polluted the air and dried up the rivers
But about 100 years ago, people woke up
And warned them that they had to stop
But they didn't understand this wise prophecy
These men spoke only in terms of profits
Years later they saw the folly of their ways
In a panic they declared a state of emergency
When the oceans swallowed up the islands
And floods struck the big cities
And for the next decade
There were hurracanes & then fires
Earthquakes and droughts
Everywhere one saw the distress on people's faces
People had to fight against pandemics/plagues
Decimated by horrendous diseases
And others died of thirst or hunger
Falling like flies
Until there wasn't anymore
No more...
No more...
My brother died yesterday in the middle of the desert
I am now the last man on earth
All the vast inelligence we were given
Was nothing more than a poisoned chalice
For I have only a few minutes to live
At best a few hours, I feel I am getting weaker
I can't walk anymore, I can barely breath
Farewell mankind...
Farewell mankind...
