What has happened to our home?

Blind to the obvious

It has been overthrown

A shadow of what it used to be

Clinging to a memory of faded glory

(Chorus)

Haunted by the past

History does not forget

Ghosts of the innocent

Trapped inside the mind

Specter of a lost nation

Opulence gives way to damnation

(Breakdown Part 1)

The serpent kings remains

Alone on his throne

His nation is forsaken

He will die alone

Clinging to his doctrine

His followers are gone

History will remember him

Hated and despised by all

(Breakdown Part 1)

A ghost of we used to be

Specter of freedom

Haunts the memory

A ghost of a failed nation

Specter of happiness, oh so fleeting

What has happened to our home?

Blind to the obvious

It has been overthrown

A shadow of what it used to be

Clinging to a memory of faded glory

(Repeat Chorus)

(Ending)

How did we let this come to pass?

All that we cherish shattered and gone

How did we let this slip away?

All of our memories, distant, fading, gone
