I've changed the chorus:
shall I live
as the world’s going under
shall I live
in a future that's void
while it rains
lightning and thunder
'til the earth
is fin'ly destroyed
Ray Bertram contributed to this, I just managed to "rescue" one single "til". I like the image of lightning and thunder "raining". And living IN a future that's void is even darker than living until that time. Now it's getting real depressing (as my wife says all my songs are, which is not true at all ...).
I also altered one verse to get the time line straight:
in our time
we've created world wonders
in our time
we've changed the world
the last plague
is what we'll come under
for the forces
that we've unfurled
And I think I'll prefer the dark bridge to the cynical one:
will we be devoured by the darkest night
will we be blinded by a blazing light
...
