What if?

What if

There were no more heroes to die,

The only hope was a lie,

Chaos fell down from above?

What if

Civilization all but drowned,

Anarchy and destruction were crowned,

Leaving nothing behind in their wake?

What if

Our hopes and homes burned,

Flames raged like a lover spurned,

There was nothing left to hold onto?

What if

There were no more tears to cry,

No more emotions to sigh,

Only the echo of silence?

What if

There was no more silver laughter,

No more sunrise to follow after,

Only a spiral of death?

What if

We could rise from the ashes,

Rise from the hundred lashes,

Start down the path to redemption?

Only one note,

One song do I sing,

To those who would live the What if.

All those friends that we've lost

Or the dreams that have faded

-Never, never forget them.
