Upon ancient steps where civilization once ascended And took its final breath I felt my soul decay, crumbling like the elder vines Spreading razors through poisoned veins Another bearer of the mark of Cain Bones grow weak and muscles ache I watched my reflection become gray Turn to ash upon the staircase A blink in the abyss of time Dragging agony through epochs A blink in the abyss of time Dragging agony through epochs A blink in the abyss of time Dragging agony through epochs A blink in the abyss of time Dragging agony through epochs Agony through epochs That colossal wreck Buried far away Our grand ego decayed beneath the burning waves But it was our life, the world we couldn't save Parthenon crumbles as desert takes the sea Withered Reichstag, barren and bleak The seed grows as the Void swallows all Thorn Palace, the fallen have sowed I saw where their hearts were fed and where I would soon join them The cold smashed faces that mock them Staring lifeless at leveled sand Thorn Palace Thorn Palace Thorn Palace Thorn Palace Thorn Palace
