The first day of no more


After two years underground we ran out of supplies
Our world had been destroyed, but some of us survived
A first sight greeting us upon our reaching the surface
Radiation detecters showed numerous radioactive traces
A layer of ash covered most of the land, fall out, dust
We could never rise again, nor build any sort of trust
Our first day of no more, was the last day of our hope
Only the most calm, pragmatic of us could ever cope
Most died in the first attack, many later in the shelters
And yet, the living have to go on, we will fight together
Defiance to the end is all we have, we cannot afford more
