Powers That Be
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Powers That Be
Is it a theory of pure scepticism
Belief of the end of a civilization
The never ending mystery of their demise
Millions of lives that cease to exist
Powers that be
Claimed the lives of a ruling dynasty
Powers that be
Anciest apocalypse of this dunasty
Collapse of a culture
They could not resist
The unrelenting questions of
Their evolution
Carving of chaos and rulers so bold
Forged in stone and so it was written
Powers that be
Claimed the lives of a ruling dynasty
Powers that be
Anciest apocalypse of this dunasty
Powers that be
Freezing winds that caused this travesty
Powers that be
The confusing riddle of the end of this
Dynasty
They lived for their temple
They lived for their palace
They lived for their deities
They mastered mathematics
They mastered astology
In manuscripts of hieroglyphics
So it was told!
Powers that be
Claimed the lives of a ruling dynasty
Powers that be
The confusing riddle of
The end of this dynasty
