"What if" is a song by LorD and Master from the album Eclipse. The song explores various scenarios of the end of the world and asks if the narrator's lover would still stand by them. The song was later reimagined in an orchestral style for the album, Hyponyms, with the line "What if the orange man on the precipice" changed to "What if the Russian man on the precipice".
Lyrics
What if the ash was falling The sun didn’t rise Could you hear me calling With tears in my eyes What if the orange man On the precipice Took us off the edge What if racial tensions reached Critical And we’re all driving the wedge What if the ice-caps melted We’re consumed by the sea What if the Earth was pelted By objects travelling near C What if the crops fail In Africa And there’s a severe drought What if a species extinction means Ecological collapse Would there be any doubt What if a bug evolved to Bring about a phage Would we end this chapter Or could it be our final page What if antibiotics Didn’t work And diseases became immune Would the great and good Look around And relocate to the moon What if AI went crazy Nanites ate humankind Would you hold me closely Till we were grey goo combined What if a supervolcano Erupted And a tsunami crashed through I guess I’ll be Fortunate Because I got to be with you What if my brain stopped working And didn’t know you Would you help me searching For my feelings so true What if my brain stopped working What if my brain stopped working What if my brain stopped working What if my brain stopped working
