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... |
