It began with a whisper of heat, a subtle shift unseen
A gradual climb in the mercury, where once a balance had been
The tides then swelled with anger, claiming the shores with might
An ancient rage awakened, day swallowed by relentless night
The oceans heaved a warning, their waters steeped in dread
As creatures of the deep fled forth, instinctively filled with lead
Earth scorched under a vengeful sun, no shelter from its gaze
A prelude to the end times, the beginning of the final days
Heat sweeps across the land, a prelude to the end
Molten fury from below, a warning we can't mend
Earth shifts beneath our feet, a planet's deep unrest
Foundations of our cities quake, a world put to the test
Waves rebel against the moon, rise higher in their ire
Swallowing the coastlines with their ravenous desire
Skies once clear now choke with smog, a blanket thick and vile
As nature unleashes its final acts, humanity on trial
The lights go dark across the globe, a stillness falls so deep
Resources once abundant, now promises we cannot keep
Through the streets, the masses clash, survival sparks the fight
Chaos dances with despair, through the endless night
Some say the signs were there, in the stars, they were told
But many shrugged and laughed, in their hubris, they were bold
Ignorance their chosen bliss, they sleepwalk through the flames
Blind to the ashes that fall, to the world that's lost its reins
Yet others hear the earth's dire cry, take arms against the doom
Prepping for the cataclysm, in bunkers they entomb
Fortified against the end, with supplies stockpiled high
They wait for Armageddon, under a brooding sky
The stiffening heat writes epitaphs on parched and cracking soil
As farmers stare at barren fields, at their fruitless toil
Magnates of men now powerless, their wealth reduced to ash
All empires crumble equally, under the cosmic lash
End of it all
This is the final act
End of it all
It's too late for us to act
Thunder cracks like splitting worlds, lightning veins the skies
An electric rage portending where our future lies
The earth heaves in sorrow, its core awash with rage
A prelude to the end times, nature's final stage
Creatures great and small fall silent, a mass exodus untold
Fleeing fires that consume the forests once so bold
Skies darken with the wings of birds in frantic flight
In search of refuge from the storm, from the encroaching plight
Seas boil with fury, waves mount an endless assault
Drowning the cries of the living, sealing them in salt
The land trembles and rends itself, spewing forth its seeds
An apocalyptic bloom time wrought, fulfilling darkened creeds
Beasts of burden falter, wild herds scatter and swell
Chaos reigns over nature, a glimpse into our coming hell
From the ripple of streams to the depths of the ocean trench
All life succumbs to the earth's ruthless, final clench
Blizzards lash the mountains, ice once sturdy now flees
The balance of the poles shift, setting cold free from its freeze
Hawks glide over desolation, their keen eyes wide with fear
No prey to find, no life to catch in the tempest far and near
Volcanoes roar their ancient song, the world's fiery serenade
Their ash a blanket over sun's shine, turning daylight into shade
The jungle's crown is fiery now, flames licking canopy leaves
A pyre for the verdant kings, under which the whole world grieves
In cities, the metronome of progress, once so loud and quick
Slows to a helpless, muted crawl, its melody turned sick
The heartbeats of a million lives, once in tempo with the day
Now erratic, racing with fear, as foundations decay
It's a symphony of destruction, every moment grand and dire
Each disaster a crescendo, in the world's expiring choir
Man and beast alike bear witness, to the force of nature's roar
In the eye of the unraveling, we stand, evermore
End of it all
This is the final act
End of it all
It's too late for us to act
The rich in towers lined with gold, now watch the skies with dread
Their fortunes powerless to halt the chaos that spreads
The poor in crowded streets, with little left to lose
Face the same storm underfoot, the same apocalyptic muse
Families clutch each other close, through the piercing thunder's wail
Bonds of love tested and forged, as foundations begin to fail
Lone souls, bachelors of fortune, face the end with stoic hearts
No hand to hold but their own, as their world departs
Soldiers in their barracks, trained for wars of man's device
Find no enemy in the face of nature's rolling dice
Civilians with their daily toils, now abandoned for the fight
Join together in the streets, unified by common plight
As the tempest claims its due, blurring lines of rich and poor
Tales of courage rise, of humanity's enduring core
Every soul a story, every heart a beating drum
Together in the orchestra, as the final reckoning comes
The silence settles heavy, in the wake of nature's roar
No victors stand among the ruins, no triumphs to implore
The world, once vibrant, now a canvas painted in despair
Life's vivid mural bleached away, an ending laid bare
The pillars of society, now monuments to the past
Stand in stark solemnity, shadows they cast
Mankind's era closes, chapters end in dust
A story concluded, in solemn, silent trust
The remnants of our kind, a whisper on the wind's chilled breath
Wander through the wreckage, hand in hand with death
No phoenix to rise from these ashes, no rebirth from this pyre
Humanity's legacy fades away, extinguished in the mire
Thus ends the tale of humankind, not with battle's fire but decline
A world reclaimed by earth and sea, no footprints left to find
An epitaph of silence, where once there was life's thrall
In the depths of the abyss, darkness swallows all
End of it all
This is the final act
End of it all
It's too late for us to act
End of it all
This is the final act
End of it all
It's too late for us to act
