[hometext] => This is how I know the world will end...
[bodytext] => I breathe in the ashes Of the business suites that once roamed this city. Everyone is dead except for me. God blessed me With the resistance to fight the technology. Years ago a triumphant rejoice As man engineered our doom through consciousness The machines became thirsty. Their only satisfaction Would come from destroying our rivers and drinking our blood. They all told me I was crazy When I spoke of the visions from God. They laughed at my nightmare. Now the only laughter is 101001 From the sinister celebrations of the automatons. Screams infested my ears like locusts From those that thought it was hocus-pocus. A woman falls to her knees terrified A tear in her eye: Mascara slides The marching pulse from boots of steel Replace the heartbeats I once could feel A scoarched sun and black sky is all that's left. The liquidated playgrounds will forever haunt my sleep Mercy did not compute. Now I search these streets alone Searching for survivors of the Robocalypse.
