What would you leave behind?

I must be overtired, stressed or going through some hormonal trough as this (read together with the song playing) made me cry today.

What would you leave behind when all your fields are dead?
When your territories are dried out and your cities drowned and swept
What would you leave behind when those who bear your name
Are born in that place that you wrecked?
What would you leave behind when you're no longer there?
