200 Words of Potential Lyrics for a Song Called “Unnatural Disaster”

No more sunlight. Only smoke. No more ocean. Just a desert of black sand. The dry wind carries a dry heat. The planet shakes under our feet. Killed by volcano dust. A face carved into a mountain of rust. There is no face on mars.

No cool rains to calm you down. No spirits, only ghosts. No roar from a rushing river, only a long, low moan. A heartbeat in the mountain. The coughing of the sea. The city was swallowed whole. The glow on the horizon is not the hand of nature. The planet spins faster but the day gets longer. Feeling the pull of gravity. Hearing screams from the clouds. A lightning strike.

Heard your voice and not a moment too soon. Found you crushed under the wreckage of the Moon. Coughing rubble. The burning sand.

The waters rose above our heads for a hundred days and then evaporated. The trees lost shape and turned to ash. The grass flaked away like skin, leaving only the bones of the earth, cracking under the weight of monsters. The dying and bleeding planet, whispering. The crush of sadness. The stab of regret. The pain of damage done. No more moonlight.
