Crumbled Empires Lyrics

Album: Conquest

There is a time when men are strong

And to the strong one by one will fall down

From the start their fate was chosen

Ruled in power for a short time

And see the end of their empires

Come crumbling down

To each land had its king

From pharaohs to czars

No one will remain

To lead in power is to lead in battle

War decides the fate for nations

The defeated see the last of their empires

Crumbling away

And great structures

Come crashing to the ground

Last rites before you, it's the bitter end

Like great giants they hold their hands

Above the clouds not seeing the enemy

Slithering on the ground

But who is the true enemy

Look in the mirror, he is within us all

Not realizing the destructive power

Held in the tight grip of our own deceitful hands

A time line between presidents and dictators

Inner chaos has come full circle

And to the last their crumbling empires

Heads fall to hands in shame
