As steel once swamped forgotten names And blackened smoke eclipsed the sun So too can Gaia heal the wound Just as she once was over run Each spire begets an open grave A ruined shrine to lucidity Sepulchral glimpses of the past That reach out from the shallow sea Forgotten pillars of the earth Ruins of a lost age granting shelter to the seeds of our rebirth As Empires Fall Old Gods will drop upon their knees Before the dawn of a new age Frozen in time Their severed hands are numb They are forgotten and fading away Such foolish children to believe Their mother's blood is theirs to burn Won't see their walls prevent her march But serve to welcome her return How fragile sits a throne of kings When echoes sweep its empty halls How hollow seem the spoils of man When Heaven falls As Empires Fall Old Gods will drop upon their knees Before the dawn of a new age Frozen in time Their severed hands are numb They are forgotten and fading away Here lies the seat of the corrupt The vein pursuit of man Inscribed beneath the rust Here lies the stronghold of the damned Those kings now left with naught But empty shells that rise up from the dust As Empires Fall Old Gods will drop upon their knees Before the dawn of a new age Frozen in time Their severed hands are numb They are forgotten and fading away Scorn Those mortal born Forgotten ghosts Whose glory slips away
