New Beginning

Opaque dust settles, unveiling ruins
Once thought to be invincible, now debris
Leaving their old ways behind
A new world they will find
Blinding flash scorched the sky
Our world collapsed in the blink of an eye
Corpses littered the ground
Gruesome, heart breaking sight
Apocalyptic end, burial mounds
Nuclear winter after mushroom cloud
Tell me when we will
If ever, see the light?
Can’t make the same mistake again
Or let it slip out of our hands
We cannot fail, can’t fade away
We came a long way
Killing everything in our wake
A new hope for our race
Feel the sun on my face
Garden of Eden lost forever
Was it even real or mere delusion?
Still can hear the screams of pain
They’re burning, burning, burning
Can someone see us now?
Do they rejoice or are breaking down?
Do we deserve another chance
A second chance to make things right?
Won’t make the same mistake again
Or let it slip out of our hands
We cannot fail, can’t fade away
We came a long way
Killing everything in our wake
A new hope for our race
Feel the sun on my face
Oooh, we are one kind
We are standing on the edge
Where we can start it over, all over again
New beginning comes
A mortal price we paid for our crimes
Root of all evil cut from our lives
Greed and lust forever we’ll fight
Learnt from the past — our flames alight
Lush garden, full of life
Abundance for all, a dazzling sight
Survivors gather around
No matter who you are
Our race takes flight
As new ideas arise
Don’t let us fail, no-no-no!
