Time and time we’ve circled

Stood still as horrid acts unfurled

Dormant guilt, useless rage

For the last time will we relish this age

A realm so merciful and patient

Now yearning to erase a species so complacent

We remain no longer...

Empires turn to ash and roads remain shadowed,

Premonitions are futile when we behave as cowards.

The ultimate veil will fall

No longer will we stand tall

We’ve lingered far too long in our cocoon,

Become one with our mother but we died too soon.

The regret and shame we feel,

Will always last in our reel

Dazed, cold, lonely and scared,

Centuries of torment she’s fared

The torch we were once given,

Dies out as our bodies stiffen

Empires turn to ash and roads remain shadowed,

Premonitions are futile when we behave as cowards.

The ultimate veil will fall

No longer will we stand tall

Forfeit our once sacred land

Behold the pathetic fall of man

Destroyers of beauty, serene

Poisoned by endless acts, obscene

Drink from the vile well of greed

From her very soul we feed

Eternal decay, it follows

A sight so rich yet it’s hollow

The ultimate veil revealed a future so bright

Never more will we be it’s light...

The ashes of empires and shadowed roads now gone,

Premonitions once futile gave way to a new dawn.
