This is another song by me. I didn't manage to create any music to this one so it became an acapella. Hope you enjoy it.

Lyrics:
We are walking in this empty world, of nightmares, dark and fierce.
We do our best to keep together and no more shead our tears.
We're crawling in the dirt of millions who died so long ago
and we live of what we find in the earth where nothing grows.
But we dream about what ones existed, buildings tall and proud,
we dream about the open seas that spread out far and wide,
how the people and their giant cities inhabited the world.
We dream about the endless forests which were all long since burned


Allthough lots were lost, and many those who died
we have mourned our cost and comfort those who cried.
Played the hand we were tossed, by our idle parents pride.
We must to lives claim, abide.


We have often cursed our own ancestors, who damned us to this life.
Cause the blood spilled from my kindreds veins is dripping from their knife.
When they chose to mock the force of nature, upraise themselves to god,
their greedy, grinding, grim ambitions have caused us their defraud.
None of us can still remember divine technology,
luxurious and simple lives dispatched in history.
But there were some things we never lost, that never we forgot.
That my friend is the name of those, who left us here to rot!


Cause for all we lost, and for all of those who died,
we must pay the cost with the tears which we have cried.
In hellfire we were tossed by our idle parents pride.
We must to lives claim, abide


Once upon a time in history humanity could do
pretty much just anything that they put their mind right to.
They could travel all around the world, defying gravity,
they could walk the moon and move the mountains, know all instantly.
And they saw the future dark and grim, they saw what would become.
They saw the black gold drown the world but let themselves succumb.
They sold their children for their pleasure, they sold us for their greed.
Forever they will bear the blame for condemning their own breed


And so all is lost all humanity has died.
We have paid the cost and there's no-one left to cry.
To oblivion we were tossed like a jesters sully pride,
cause mankind will not, abide
