Fallout

In the shadow of our pride, the embers fade to grey,
Nations stand divided, in silence they betray.
Borders drawn by selfish hands, a world that's torn apart,
Whispers of a looming storm, the beating of a darkened heart.

Oh, the folly of our ways, as the sirens start to sing,
A mistake, a fatal slip, and the end that it will bring.
Ashes raining from the sky, the earth in disarray,
Survivors in a barren land, where night consumes the day.

Underneath the crimson skies, the remnants of our kind,
Scouring through the fallout, what little they can find.
Radiation's cruel embrace, a dance with death so near,
Each breath a stolen moment, in the silence of their fear.

Oh, the folly of our ways, as the sirens start to sing,
A mistake, a fatal slip, and the end that it will bring.
Ashes raining from the sky, the earth in disarray,
Survivors in a barren land, where night consumes the day.

Can you hear the echoes calling, through the corridors of time?
Warnings left unheeded, now we pay for every crime.
A world not meant for living, a canvas painted black,
Hope a distant memory, too far to turn back.

Oh, the folly of our ways, as the sirens start to sing,
A mistake, a fatal slip, and the end that it will bring.
Ashes raining from the sky, the earth in disarray,
Survivors in a barren land, where night consumes the day.

In the quiet of the aftermath, the shadows start to blend,
A tale of human arrogance, a story with no end.
Left to wander aimlessly in a world that's gone astray,
In the ruins of civilization, where the lost are led astray.
