In the stream of history

On the wheel of time

While we look on ruins

The spiral is running on

Highest cultures

Risen proud but vanished

Only the stone walls remain

From all the glory of the elder

Cities - Gone Down in Flames

Kingdoms - Gone Down in Flames

Science of ancient history

Mythologies too big to fail

All only food for the flames... The flames

Where are all the old maps?

Where are the elder's writings?

All knowledge and wisdom

Was robbed and hidden ever since

Spirits of Alexandria

Karthago, Athens, Theben

Where have the libaries been brought

History ain't not like taught

Empires - Gone Down in Flames

Epochs - Gone Down in Flames

Science of ancient history

Mythologies too big to fail

All only food for the flames... The flames

Centuries and Milleniums

Run like sand through our hands

The collapse of cultures

Has given birth to another

But as the ashes cooled down

And the smoke is gone

We will know that history

As it was taught is... wrong

Empires - Gone Down in Flames

The quest for the true events... remains...

Gone Down In Flames
