To the Ruins

Has history taught us nothing but repetition of failure?

Do the writings on the wall hold the secrets of the ancient?

Forgotten scriptures

Prophetic tales of misfortune

Windswept and rushed away with the sands of time

An unfortunate series of events

And so the siren sounds

The curtain calls and these great cities cripple beneath their lights

Giving in to a bastardized sense of renewal

No monuments to be rebuilt on these empty foundations

Bone by bone

To the ruins with us all

Brick by brick

Kingdoms rise and fall

So say goodnight

And say goodbye
