A reflection in history Is a glimpse of the future What more can we expect But to follow in their footsteps Record this moment Coming back around again Our fate in parallel With those of the ancients Constantly evolving Is the mirror of our time To repeat the past In the time of the present The fallen empire is dead Like a statue fallen down Fires were burned beneath our heads Another nation burned to the ground The past follows us now As we are the followers of our past A top your steeple Mimic the mistakes as trend Tread these waters lightly They are for all to share Each new wrath Stronger than the last More moral than them all Taking the forsaken path That wraps us back to start again The fallen empire is dead Like a statue fallen down Fires were burned beneath our heads Another nation burned to the ground Fallen Like a statue crumbling down Empires Another nation burned to the ground The fallen empire is dead Like a statue fallen down Fires were burned beneath our heads Another nation burned to the ground
