Marble Ruins Lyrics


Omnis cum in tenebris praesertim vita laboret

Long time ago, a marble city

elegant golden halls and fountains

flaunting boundless prosperity

land of opportunities and abundance

Greed of men

would soon drain all the light,

bring this city to its demise

the lowest vices of men would surface

destroying the future for their own kind

One by one would flee leaving their homes behind

years would pass for the wandering migrants

life would make them forget their broken land

buried in time, will they ever come back?

Greed of men

drained all the light

brought the city to its demise

the lowest vices of men surfaced

destroyed the future for their own kind

Ages passed by for the lost land

nature swallowed the old ruins

ivies creeping around tall towers

embracing what was left

of a declined civilization

gone forever from history
