shall I live

The structures of verse, chorus, and bridge look rather similar, but in my mind they have different tunes. I certainly hope that I’ll remember in a week or so what’s in my mind right now. If not - so what. This is the text (comments and corrections are welcome - I wrote it after a half bottle of wine in about 15 minutes):

Chorus:
shall I live
till the world's going under
shall I live
till the future is void
will there be
lightning and thunder
when the earth
at last is destroyed

Verse:
how come
that (just) one single species
has the power
to end it for all
come over them
like a terminal disease
making sure
that the strongest will fall

Chorus

Verse:
in our time
we created world wonders
in our time
we changed the world
the last plague
is what we come under
for the forces
that we unfurled

Chorus

Bridge:
when I die
the world will be gone
when I die
why should I care
while I live
I'd like to go on
while I live
I ask you to beware

Chorus



I used the Penguin Rhyming Dictionary a lot and by this means found "wonder", "unfurled" and "beware".
