In the Ruins

If humanity were to completely disappear
Would there be joy or sorrow, new tomorrows
If there was madness, who'd run the asylum
As buildings fall, foundations rotted, flawed
Would the records left behind reveal our tears
Would lost spirits congregate at ground zero
Would emptiness be accompanied by silence
Would the world remaining be struck with awe
Oh, how the quiet would become deafening
At the human race's ultimate reckoning
And the din allows oblivion to ring
As dead choirs refuse to sing
