The Song Of When

When the last realm tumbles
And the last wall crumbles

When the last sword is wrought
And the last battle fought

When the last page is turned
And the last book is burned

When the last tale is told
And the last slave is sold

When the last baby cries
And the last maiden dies

When the last king is killed
And the last blood is spilled

When only nymphs survive
Nature will truly thrive
