The Fall Of An Empire

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
