To the Ruins Lyrics

Has history taught us nothing
But repetition of failure?
Do the writings on the wall
Hold the secrets of the ancient?
Forgotten scriptures
Prophetic tales of misfortune
Windswept and rushed away
With the sands of time
An unfortunate series of events
And so the siren sounds

The curtain calls
And these great cities cripple
Beneath their lights

Giving into
A bastardized
Sense of renewal
No monuments to be rebuilt
On these empty foundations
Bone by bone
To the ruins with us all
Brick by brick
Kingdoms RISE AND FALL
So say goodnight
And say goodbye
