Monuments Of Ash

Blood and hope seep into the cracks Of a flawed foundation Corruption knows no bounds In a condemned and crumbling nation The monuments of ash Rebuilt from the remains Like the centuries of past Must be laid to waste again Under archaic rule Nothing thrives in the dust that they've created The fallen empires tell us What is known now must be forgotten No more worship of the idol's stone No more will shame infect our homes We are that which seeks itself, the seeking, and the sought The monuments of ash Rebuilt from the remains Like the centuries of past Must be laid to waste again The monuments of ash Empires fall and bridges burn Like the centuries of the past Humanity will never learn No one can thrive under tyranny's grasp And when the final shadow is cast We'll all be dust along the path To the monuments of ash Rebuilt from the remains Like the centuries of past Now laid to waste again Empires fall and bridges burn But humanity will never learn No one will thrive under tyranny's grasp And when the final shadow is cast We'll all just be dust along the path To the fucking monuments of ash
