Centuries pass

 In mirrored existence

 Condemnant quod non intellegunt

 Ivory tower devoid of wisdom

 Lambs bleating below

 Foes massed at the gates

 And assembled deep within

 The price that must be paid

 Is sorrow unending

 Whelps intoxicated by sophism

 Gullible and clothed motley

 Septic chorus of absurdity

 Inviting their own ruin

 All will be lost

 It is the doom of men

 That they do not know

 It is the doom of men

 That they cannot see

 It is the doom of men

 That they remember not

 Famine, drought and locusts

 Alms for the indentured

 Sloth and corruption

 Swords long since dull

 The price that must be paid

 Is sorrow unending

 Ideology and indifference

 Unify in fatal consequence

 The empire crumbles

 The foundation breaks

 All will be lost

 It is the doom of men

 That they do not know

 It is the doom of men

 That they cannot see

 It is the doom of men

 That they remember not

 The blissfully ignorant

 And those inherently so

 They remember not

 Now all will be lost

 Sorrow unending

 All will be lost
