End of the World
5 billion years have passed
Society is long since gone
The sun is now so vast
The Earth has its final dawn
Life has withered away
Leaving ruins in its wake
Memories fade in decay
A world that we forsake
Far away on another rock
Humans made their home
Still we avert death’s clock
As the universe we roam
We've continued to adapt
And look nothing like before
Our potential was untapped
Until we strived for more
