This is how
[Intro, Dramatic orchestra] [Verse 1] In the morning light, a shadow spreads wide. Quietly swallows the land, dusky tide. Humanity looks in awe, confusion in the air. Crowds pointing up, scream and stare. Their eyes follow an impossible curve. A tremendous body shrouding the heavens. Then realization dawns with primal fear: She's a goddess in their atmosphere. [Pre-Chorus] She gazes down, with a teasing grin. In a defeaning voice, whispering : [Spoken Pre-Chorus, powerful female voice] "I feel you, mortals, and the world below. What I've created, I will explore, Love this planet, and take it." [Chorus] This is how the world ends This is how the world ends This is how the world ends Not with a bang, but with a TEASE (Mmm) [Verse 2] Her fingers brush on earth’s delicate skin, Mountains crumble under her caress, Skies ignite in her gentle press, Oceans boil as chaos begins. [Pre-Chorus] She smiles as the land quakes to dust, Valleys split open, lakes erupt, Satisfied, she pauses to admire, The trembling focus of her desire. [Chorus] This is how the world ends This is how the world ends This is how the world ends Not with a bang, But with a CARESS (mmm) [Pre-Chorus, Building Tension, Anticipatory] She gazes down with a teasing grin, In a defeaning voice, whispering : [Spoken Pre-Chorus, female voice with reverb] "I feel you mortals, in this tiny space, It makes me want to play and see you race. Since I created all, big and small, I'll love and take it all." [Chorus, soft] This is how the world ends This is how the world ends This is how the world ends Not with a bang, but with a TEASE (Mmm) [Verse 2, Atmospheric Strings, Haunting] Her fingers brush on earth’s delicate skin, Mountains crumble under her caress, Skies ignite in her gentle press, Oceans boil as chaos begins. [Pre-Chorus, Building Tension, Anticipatory] She smiles as the land quakes to dust, Valleys split open, lakes erupt, Satisfied, she pauses to admire, The trembling focus of her desire. [Chorus, Full Orchestra, powerful] This is how the world ends This is how the world ends This is how the world ends Not with a bang, But with a CARESS (mmm) [Interlude, Transition, Awe-Struck] Cities panic as her body draws near, Beauty and dread mix, their fate becomes clear. [Spoken Interlude, female voice with reverb] "Aww.. I barely touched you" [Verse 3, Ethereal Synths, Mysterious] Her palm reaches down, over New York, Skyscrapers shatter, panic unlocks, In Tokyo's streets, her tongue glide, Leaving nothing but a silent tide. London evaporates beneath her tit, Paris chokes in her intimate heat, Sydney sinks into the deep, As her vast lips part, wiping it. [Chorus, Full Orchestra, Dramatic] This is how the world ends This is how the world ends This is how the world ends Not with a bang, But with a KISS (Mwah) [Verse 5, Haunting Strings, Sensual] Curious, she scores Earth with a nail, Splits America in half, a precise trail, A scorching line of volcanoes and smoke, A brilliant abyss, her pleasure bespoke. [Pre-Chorus, Human Perspective, Realization] In her presence, humanity decays fast, Most destroyed in her playful cast, Few remain on islands, now out of sight, Their hope turns to worship, in the dying light. [Chorus, Full Orchestra, Dramatic] This is how the world ends This is how the world ends This is how the world ends Not with a bang, But with a PRAYER (haa) [Verse 6, Ethereal Synths, Mysterious] The goddess feels the remaining few, With a swipe of her finger, erases all but one, She whispers, "Last of your kind, what did you learn?" Her beautiful face, eclipsing the sun. [Spoken Bridge, Eerie Synths, Suspenseful] He can't reply, understands humans' place, She takes Earth between her thighs, Slowly, very slowly, she swallows it whole, Oceans, mountains, countries, cities, dreams, fears, and hopes, Until nothing remains, drawing a satisfied sigh. [Chorus, Full Orchestra, Dramatic] This is how the world ends This is how the world ends This is how the world ends Not with a bang, But swallowed (ooh) [Interlude, Transition, Awe-Struck] Cities panic as her body draws near, Beauty and dread mix, their fate becomes clear. [Spoken Interlude, female voice with reverb] "Aww.. I barely touched you" [Verse 3, Ethereal Synths, Mysterious] Her palm reaches down, over New York, Skyscrapers shatter, panic unlocks, In Tokyo's streets, her tongue glide, Leaving nothing but a silent tide. London evaporates beneath her tit, Paris chokes in her intimate heat, Sydney sinks into the deep, As her vast lips part, wiping it. [Chorus, Full Orchestra, Dramatic] This is how the world ends This is how the world ends This is how the world ends Not with a bang, But with a KISS (Mwah) [Verse 5, Haunting Strings, Sensual] Curious, she scores Earth with a nail, Splits America in half, a precise trail, A scorching line of volcanoes and smoke, A brilliant abyss, her pleasure bespoke. [Pre-Chorus, Human Perspective, Realization] In her presence, humanity decays fast, Most destroyed in her playful cast, Few remain on islands, now out of sight, Their hope turns to worship, in the dying light.

[Chorus, Full Orchestra, Dramatic] This is how the world ends This is how the world ends This is how the world ends Not with a bang, But swallowed (ooh) [Verse 5, mischievous, Sensual] Curious, she scores Earth with a nail, Splits America half in a trail, A scorching line of volcanoes and smoke, Brilliant abyss, her pleasure bespoke (giggle) [Spoken Interlude, Releasing Tension, Monotonous] In her presence, humanity decays fast, Most destroyed in her playful cast, Few remain on islands, now out of sight, Their hope turns to worship, in the dying light (Hmph) [Chorus4, calm and sad] This is how the world ends This is how the world ends This is how the world ends Not with a bang, But with a PRAYER (Haa) [Verse 6, Ethereal Synths, Mysterious] The goddess feels the remaining few, With a swipe of her finger, erases all but one, She whispers, "Last of your kind, what did you learn?"

(Mmm) Slowly, so slowly, She takes Earth inside her, Swallows it whole... [Spoken Bridge2, Building tension, Suspenseful, monotonous] Oceans, mountains, countries, Forests, cities, villages, Buildings, Cars, Computers and phones, Wisdom, love, Wars, regrets, Religion, Stories, Beliefs and laws, Birth, fears and hopes, Until. nothing (nothing) remains. [Chorus] This is how the world ends This is how the world ends This is how the world ends Not with a bang, But swallowed [Peaceful Ending Spoken Chorus, releasing tension, melancholic] This is how the world ends This is how the world ends This is how the world ends Yes, with a whimper, But Loved (Ooh)
