Upon ancient steps Where civilization once ascended and took it's final breath I felt my soul decay Crumbling like the elder vines spreading razors through poisoned veins Another bearer of the mark of Kane Bones grow weak and muscles ache I watched my reflection become grey and turn to ash upon the staircase A Blink in the abyss of time Dragging agony through epochs That colossal wreck buried far way 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 whole 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 Mocked them staring lifeless at leveled sand Thorn Palace
